Summer Stars

Fall is slowly creeping up where I live. I have begun working through Summer Stars with a friend. Why? Because I could really use the practice at working with tiny pieces. But more importantly, it's fun sewing with a friend. I'm pulling from the scrap box and making two of each star. If I can get them all made, I think I'll treat myself to some alternating block fabric or a border piece for the project.

It's an eight week series found here.
I took the picture--wanting to share the project. But I also wanted to keep it real-----Look:

Therefore the reason I really need the practice with small pieces. I must have ripped out and re-stitched about five times, but I finally just gave up. I'm hoping that I can skimp on the seam allowance and it work will out. They don't take long to put together. Small projects are perfect with life's busy schedule.


I don't want to overlook the significance of today and the memories it holds for Americans. Some things you just don't forget.....
