When Kathy issued her Christmas in July Challenge, I said that I would move my Lone Star project forward by quilting the star points this month.
The month is halfway over, and I have completed the challenge.
I used a variegated green, red and white thread to free motion quilt the star.
Since I have completed my goal, and since this challenge is supposed to be for the month, I may just keep going on this project. I may quilt the red inner border.
I may.
But you know how the squirrels are…those masters of distraction.
Wendy posted about a sweet little table topper over at her blog, Pieceful Thoughts.
Turns out that I have all I need to make this topper, including the hexagon ruler, and a shoebox full of fabric squares that were exchanged with guild members (back in the day…like the 90’s to be more specific).
So I did.
Make one, that is.
It is already gifted.
But this is Christmas in July. And I have that loaded shoebox.
So I have already cut out enough hexagons for 7 (seven more) Christmas gifts (and barely made a dent in that box)!
I may spend the rest of July cutting out background pieces.
Thank you, Kathy and Wendy!
Really…I mean it!
I am linking up with Kathy over here. You might want to visit, and be encouraged to get your Christmas projects moving!
Quilt On!
