Last August Play Day


I had intended to start this much later, but with my scheduled 'lists' completed ahead of time - you have to play.  And I'll blame you all, too, as you told me to skip the housework.

This is Kaaren's of The Painted Quilt new mystery.  I have made a number of her free patterns and have never been disappointed.  Since I have one day of the month for play, I will work on the 2nd step of this as a leader/ender....

while I work on a few more of these Sawtooth Stars.  I need 51 stars of which 12 will be set into a larger star - and there is one tiny star.  I have 20 done and I am following Barbara Brackman's Star's in a Time Warp , so maybe by the end of the year I will have these done.

 ** linking up with Monday Making and Patch Work Times **

 What are you working on for the last day of August?

 Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

    Nice progress and I have to work today so new sewing for me. But I might get the last Kate Spain Christmas Charm Swap package in the mail today so I can finish up the stacks and get them packaged to go out to their new owners.

    Always, always take the opportunity to play!!! Housework will still be there when you are done, and you have those lovely blocks as your reward :*)

    Lovely houses. I started collecting Kaaren's mystery patterns and realized there was no way I would be starting another new quilt for quite a while! What? A reality check? I guess so!

    Hello, I see you are also making Karen's QA and your version reminds me if primitive quilting. Love it! Pop over to Good Earth Quilting to see my version. Cheers, Caroline
