Even though it's been another very hot week here in Texas, I was able to sit and handpiece more Texas Stars. They are a real joy to stitch and my garden of stars seems to be growing quite quickly. I remember when I first tried to handpiece, it was a bit of a catastrophe. But, my determination got me thru and I am so blessed to now enjoy some slow stitching. It seems to be my favorite kind of stitching, but then it always has been. Handquilting always happens in the cooler months but hand piecing is quite comfortable during the warmer months.
We will hit the road in the am to visit family in Illinois. Not sure if I will get much stitching in, but I have kitted up a few star parts just in case. The fabric has arrived for the medallion block so I will be looking forward to starting it when I get home. Also, I need to decide whether to make more hourglass blocks or whether 400 will be enough? Always lots of decisions when it comes to quilt making! Hope you are enjoying some slow stitches today.
