On Saturday I was able to finish 4 more trip around the world blocks. I never took a photo so you'll need to believe me on that. I have just 3 blocks more to go!!
On Sunday I worked at The Co-Op for a few hours. There were only 3 customers which gave me lots of concentrated time to listen to an audiobook on the iPhone and stitch.

| Watch out for this owl - he was winking at Janet yesterday... |
First I finished this very last rose star!!!! I did get it pressed this morning so if this evening goes well, I plan to lay them out this evening. I kept making stars until I ran out of my 12 FQs so it won't be until I lay it out that I'll figure out how big it is...

| Banana fabric was a last minute find in the ADK. Fun!! |
Once I finished the star, I stitched up this banana "cog"....
...and then moved to a blue "sparkle" which was finished this morning. OK, I lied. I have one last seam in this to finish and then I can add the green "leaves" at opposite sides of the rosette.
I was going to count all the rosettes as I made them but needing 77 blue and 77 yellow, I am sure it's going to take quite some time to make that many. I'll count them at the end of the year, maybe bagging 10 or 20 at a time or some such idea. In the meantime I'll just enjoy playing with my fabrics.
Just loving that owl rose star hexagon...I only have binding left before I travel to hexagonia once again--I am packing my bags...lol hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteyour playing produces such lovely blocks I have only attempted the hexagon shape these are so much more interesting. Hopefully we will see the rose stars all laid out soon
ReplyDeleteI think that owl is just an unabashed flirt!
ReplyDeleteThe banana fabric is a very fun effect, but I love the look of the blue "sparkle". To me it has depth and mystery.
Fabulous blocks, especially love the blue.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely. That blue sparkle is just perfect, and very interesting.
