I'm much happier with the center of my star now that I've reverted it to the solid log cabin blocks. I also made some courthouse step blocks and added them to the top and bottom of the star to get a rectangle. I think they kind of look like Pop-Beads! Hopefully I will have time to start sewing them together soon. |

Yesterday I got the latest Connecting Threads catalog and found a pattern with a similar idea--great minds think alike! |
I'm so thrilled with my rose vine this year. Last year the deer very carefully nipped off pretty much every one of the buds and I ended up with only a few blossoms. I've been very diligent with the deer repellent this year and it's paid off. I recently won a gift certificate to the nursery where I purchased this rose, and I'm thinking I may have to have a second one (despite the deer stress).

This also came in the mail. There was no note or invoice with it and I was positive I didn't order any Cuddle. Two days later I got an email from Shannon Fabrics that I had won it in a drawing. It comes with an online class with one of their educators. I've never used Cuddle/Minky, so it will be fun to try out.
In the meantime, I've actually started my June goal, so I better get back at it!
