LeMoyne Star Weekend - Weekend Result

I was having fun this weekend working on my LeMoyne stars. Didn't get nearly as much done as I was hoping to, but any progress is a good thing. Four 12" star blocks.

In addition to these I have (with the "help" of my little four legged friend) made strip sets and cut the pieces for 10-12 more blocks. Hope to get some more sewing done sooooooooon!

LeMoyne Star Weekend

Nemo pointed out the other day that it's been really quiet on my blog lately, So since I have plans to sew this weekend I'll try to blog a bit of my progress.

On our retreat to Lapp-Elisa in april 2013, I started a quilt using the Rapid Fire LeMoyne Star quilt. It was put in a bag in the cupboard when I came home, and haven't seen the light of day since. This weekend I hope to make some real progress on it.

Wish me luck! ;-)

Turning criminal?

Anyone got some chain cutters to lend me? *lol* I have been so tempted to commit a theft ever since I discovered this outside the 7-Eleven down the street:



Gorgeous, aren't they? And soooo fitting for a quilter! But no, they are probably not worth turning criminal over ;o) In stead they can be of some inspiration! I have done a 12" test block:



Not sure what I'll do... Perhaps someday it will be sewn into a quilt, a table runner, a one block cushion, or maybe it will just end up in the orphan blocks box?

Wishing everyone a wonderful and creative weekend!
