A Star is Born

At long last I made a return to my sewing room and got the Moda Love/Carpenter's Star topper put together. It was such a treat to just sit down and sew without having to fret about other things that I needed to do - I think it's been over a month since I spent any time in my sewing room.

I like the silver and gold combination, it is soft and Christmassy all at the same time and quite sophisticated.

And there's just enough sparkle in a few of the fabrics to kick things up a notch.

This is a project that didn't get finished in time for the Holly Bazaar because I was too busy trying to figure out how to mess it up so I guess it's on track to be the first project finished for the 2019 bazaar - woo hoo!

There were enough HSTs so that I was able to lay out a second one - just need to cut a dozen white blocks and I'll be able to start putting it together as well.....M
