These magic blinkers I have are pretty special to keep someone like me on track with one project. It's a glorious moment for me to have got the main part of the Stars and Sprigs together. Whooooo hoooo!!
Three borders to go on the journey of many leaves.
The hardest part was getting those last three stars done, especially choosing the colours. I found it really helpful to switch photos to black and white before sewing the blocks together, just to see if my values were working for me. As you know, colour gets all the credit but value does the work.
I'm guessing that Liza will let us all know when the pattern is available and then I can cheer someone else on.
YAY!!! Fantastic Janet - one more border to go!
ReplyDeleteKeep those blinkers on - you'll be finished by next week. Cheers, Kim McL
OOPS - I meant three more!! Kim McL

Hang in there, applique addicts. The pattern is at the printers and should be done by the end of this month. BUT this month is August and because of employee vacations, their delivery may be a bit slower than usual.
ReplyDeleteThere is another fabulous Kim pattern to be introduced by the end of the year, too. So, get sewing!
Positively BRILLIANT, Janet!!! Just BRILLIANT. When I grow up I want to be just like you... ; ) I bow to you, Sensei.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous and what a fabulous idea to use that black and white photo!!!!!! I will have to remember that!!
