Since my last blog post? Really!? It went by too fast! :-)
I am happy to report that DD is 'launched'. ;-) We took her to college, and she is happily settled into her dorm room and college life. It was no easy task getting her packed up though! My washer broke doing her 'last loads' and we had to make a quick trip to a laundromat. Then the door knob pulled off the door~~ twice! :-o (I guess I'm not as handy with a screwdriver as I thought!) LOL And then, of course, anytime we move anything~ it rains! ;-)
Today I needed a little 'down time' so I made a paper-pieced block. I have a love/hate relationship with paper-piecing. I love the end result, but really am not too fond of the 'tediousness' of it at all! :-/ A lot of fussing for one block! But here it is. It is a modified 'Hawaii' from Carol Doak's '50 Fabulous Paper-Pieced Stars' book. Now to work on dinner...
Until next time....
Happy Stitchin'!

That's one nice star! I think it was worth the fussing ...
Good to hear your daughter is settled into her new situation, even after the trouble getting there... 8-)
A lovely star block! The fussing was worth the end result! 8-)
...?... I can't believe that QGB posted a comment so early! She is definitely NOT a morning person! 8-)
Happy stitchings!
washing machine broke ea??!??!
hummm... with that perfect timeing... it sounds to me like a clever way to make it loud and clear that she is not to bring home any hampers of dirty laundry during the semester! LOL :P heheheheh
Your star turned out so pretty. You have a great eye for color placement which is so important in quilting.
Love from Texas! ~bonnie
