It's all in the stars ...

I set my stars into this beautiful purple tulip fabric ... I would never have done this, if Colleen (one of the ladies in my class) hadn't set her stars into a darker fabric ... I was all set to put my stars into a cream fabric but this looks SO much better ... it's what's great about being in class - you get ideas from other people!

I've also made another row of bricks, so next month I'll be putting it all together - can't wait!

And here's another birthday gift ...

It was my lovely sister-in-law Jo's 60th birthday in October ...

Jo makes amazing cakes ...

Happy Birthday Jo Jo! Vx

Another birthday to celebrate ...

Happy Birthday Andy Zak ...

Cushion pattern came from one of my favourite bloggers - Allison Harris of Cluck Cluck Sew ...

I've had this American Stars and Stripes fabric for a couple of years ... just waiting for the perfect project ...

And I think these buttons add a nice touch!

Oh ... and whilst clearing out a kitchen drawer ... I found an old school tea towel ... it made me smile ...

Bless them! xxx

Celebrated ...

two birthdays at the weekend ...

Happy birthday to Theresa ...

and Happy Birthday to Lesley ...

I made these little wall hangings for my friends, adapting the Anni Downs Angel Quilt pattern.

Happy times ...

spent at Cupcake Cottons!  50% off Christmas fabrics today!

I love the fact that Steph puts your purchases in a lovely brown bag with a Cupcakes label!  It makes it special!

I particularly like the fabric in the bottom left of the picture - feel some fussy cutting coming on! 

I've been busy making 32 stars for my medallion quilt ...

and I made another bag for a very happy event!  

Congratulations to Paul and Jane on the birth of gorgeous little Freddy ...
