Halloween Stars Progression







Our last meeting was hosted by Ronda (at the sewing machine on the left) She was a beautiful house and even more impressive sewing room. There are three of us working on the halloween stars and we are planning to have nine blocks finished by the 19th (our next meeting) so we can swap and begin to add the borders. We are having some slight problems with these blocks but it is fun and the wonky look of the whole quilt topper will hide many imperfections.












I am happy that Helen and Jodi came and that Helen is doing much better. Helen was working on a knitting a pair of socks (her first!!!) Wow! I need to join her knitting club hahaha.

Halloween stars


These are TrickyTricky! But I think the outcome is good. And it will be so much fun to share with each other. You actually make two blocks at once with the outcome being light on dark and dark on light. We are trying to get together nine blocks to make a tabletopper and/or wallhanging. We want them finished by Halloween . . . so hopefully. Also, did I mention that we will be "swapping"? Right now there are three of us making the blocks but it is not too late for you to start. Come on - it will be fun!!!
Our next meeting will be on the 12th and will be hosted on Rhonda's house. Look for an email with directions. Hope to see you all at the October 5th PWQ meeting.
