And I did finally do a pattern design mock up of an idea I have had in my head for a couple of months. My Adventurous Stars paper pieced BOM quilt is going to hang on my living room wall. So I thought doing an individual variation and giving it a house block in the center would be nice. So I did the math and enlarged my house block pattern and created a test pattern image to decide if I like the idea. The final quilt will have 12 different stars not 4 that repeat and the turquoise fabrics will be a more scrappy looking variety of patterned turquoise fabrics.
And I do love it, so I think I will go ahead and test the house block pattern this week! I may even end up hand embroidering the word HOME on the front of the house! So many ideas, sooooo little time!
And do you remember I had a temporary sewing buddy over Christmas? Charlie the labradoodle will be back for a few days later this week whilst his family is away, he's a great sewing companion, unlike my traitorous dogs who barely ever venture into my dungeon studio!!
