I've had lots of time for hand stitching lately. My two yellow hexie snowflakes are completed, and the hexie star is nearly finished too.
My other project for the RSC 2014 is my Rainbow LeMoyne Stars. I made four yellow stars with light background, and there is one star on black background left from my earlier attempt with these blocks (2001!) I need to make three or four more stars with the black background, plus one larger (12") blocks.
My design wall got cleared off this week, so I decided it was a good time to take a look at the LeMoyne Stars in all the colors we have done so far. This is about half of the blocks I have made this year. They are all 6" blocks. I am so excited about how these are looking together!
Check out the Rainbow Scrap Challenge posts every Saturday to see how others are using up their scraps. So many beautiful projects!
I am also linking up with Hexie Weekend at A Quilting Reader's Garden and Monday Morning Star Count at Life Under Quilts. Check both of those out for great EPP inspirations.

ReplyDeleteThey are coming together nicely. What a fun quilt it will be! You were the lucky winner of fabric this month. If you will send me your snail mail I will ship it to you. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteHurray! I love Vicki's hand-dyed fabrics. Can't wait to use them in my RSC projects.
DeleteAnd another Angie is commenting - three in a row. Love your Lemoyne Stars - they are so colorful - going to make a special quilt. And your hexies are so vibrant! Thanks for linking to Hexie Weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove the mix of dark and light backgrounds. Each makes you stars pop in a different way. Great to see them all up together.
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to seeing your LeMoyne stars, sew eye catching!
