I am continuing to join Kate at Life in Pieces in tracking how many days each week I manage to get in at least 15 minutes of quilting time. I'm back to stitching every single day and hope to continue that way through rest of the month.

I try to always keep a hand-stitching project ready to go. My usual time to stitch is on my train ride to work in the mornings, but there are also days when I do some stitching at home in the evening. My current project is from a class with Edyta Sitar in 2013, the Dresden Star. I have eight star blocks pieced and have started appliqueing them to the background squares. Each will also get a blue circle appliqued to the center.
Check out more stash reports at quiltpaintcreate, and add your own report so we can keep this linky going. I'm also linking up to Slow Stitching Sunday at Kathy's Quilts and Oh Scrap! at Quilting is more fun than Housework.
Wow! That Dresden Star is beautiful! Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteLove the blocks. Dresdens, in all their variations, are one of my favorite block patterns.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stars! I saw her making these blocks online somewhere long ago - fun process!
ReplyDeleteI have the fabric to make the Edyta's Dresden Star, just don't get to it. These Stars do inspire me though . . . someday!
ReplyDeleteStunning blocks, very precisely worked. The blue centers will be a standout. Go for it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dresden star. Are the stars hand pieced? Please tell me they are done by machine!! You've been really good controlling how much fabric you are bringing in. What's you secret?
ReplyDeleteYour Dresden Stars are so pretty. It is important to get a little stitching in each day even just to say you had 15 minutes of relaxation.
ReplyDeleteThe Dresden Stars are beautiful! You've done so well at making time to stitch this year. If you are stitching every day it won't be long before you have more going out.
