Mini Wall Update

 I finished the second miniature for my wall this week. I won this pattern and decided to hand piece the stars. The stars went together easily and I can't imagine stitching them by machine. But, I ran into some difficulty when I was adding the background.  After a few attempts,  I came to the conclusion that something had to be wrong with the pattern. I was right, and things went together quite nicely once we jumped that hurdle

I have blogged about my mini wall here, it's been a while so I thought I would share a new pic. The wall is not full and there is still a lot of room for more minis, but I have made some progress. I love the variety and they are a great inspiration to me while I sew.

Slow Stitching

Well, the ground hog sure had the prediction of spring wrong this year. It is cold and blustery here today.  So, why not take advantage of being couped up and get some enjoyable hand quilting done on these two miniatures.  My miniature wall still has a lot of room for some colorful minis and I really enjoy making them.  They are great ways to try different blocks and not be committed to making a large quilt. I machine basted them and have completed hand quilting the stars on the bottom quilt.  I can't wait to get them added to the wall.

I started a mini wall, in my sewing room, it gives me inspiration. I love doing small projects while I have some large projects going, it is like recess and playtime.
