My new year’s resolution….update my blog a little more
often!
Thought I’d better post the update of my MIL’s Christmas eve birthday
present. So, I had high hopes of whipping
up a snazzy quilt label for her – some cutesy paper pieced work of art. A few weeks before her b-day she tells me
about a neighbor lady who received a quilt with her name embroidered on
it. MIL thought it was so special to
have it personalized. Hmm, I had planned to run fabric through the printer for
a label then paper piece into a bird/birdhouse, but I can switch it up. My
snazzy paper pieced label wasn’t turning out so well anyway, so I tossed it aside for
an appliqued bird and Jen’s name hand stitched on her quilt. Even with the horrible hand writing, she
loved it.

Now that I’ve got a little hand sewing under my belt – Temecula QuiltCo. Blog is doing a Fussy Friday each week.
She’s using 60 degree diamonds to make a 6-point star. Thought I’d join in, not sure I’ll do the entire
52 weeks, but maybe enough for a wall hanging.
I have great intentions and all, but 52 weeks is a long time!
