I'm really liking the wonky looks

hi all. I really love the wonky star, it's like a friendship star (which is probably what I would have chosen for my month) and will enjoy making it. I have not started the December block and will definitely be falling a little behind; we have been dealing with declining health issues in OH (a six hour drive from MD) most weekends and today we will have to say goodbye to LuLu, out 16 1/2 year old shepard mix. I can't deal with everything after the year I've had.... so rest assured, when we have finished crying over the next few days, I will turn to my sewing machine for comfort and get busy on blocks. thanks for your support and understanding.

January blocks

Hi everyone,




Did any of you get involved in the Bushfire appeal last year? It is for a wonky star block that is very cute and easy. Victoria has an excellent tutorial on the construction of it. Check out


http://thesillyboodilly.blogspot.com/2009/02/wonky-star-tutorial.html for the pattern. I am sending little packets out (on Monday morning) of the background fabric to use. I would like you to use any color you might have for the star points. If you don't feel comfy with this, please, let me know and I can send some fabs for you to use instead.





I haven't been thinking straight for a few weeks, too much stimulation. Let me know if you have any questions, k? No rush on the returns to me.





Have a better year...Elaine

Mail came!

Solidia, Just wanted to let you know the package of scraps for your block arrived today. I'll get this started after Christmas and hopefully out to you shortly after.
