Last Friday, my tired old late ’60s smokers’ delight kitchen was demoed to make room for a cleaner smelling, updated kitchen. (Hooray!)
Happily, amidst the stress of keeping kids out of the way and actually using the dining room for eating instead of sewing (boo!), I’ve been able to do some hand sewing. And hand sewing is a much needed treat.
Here’s the three stars I’ve added this week.

The wildflowers are blooming here in Texas – bluebonnets and indian paintbrush – a lush mix of deep blue, bright red, and yellow. So, I’m calling these stars wildflowers. Each wildflower is English Paper Pieced, my absolute favorite type of hand sewing.
I’m linking up this week to Lee’s Work In Progress Wednesday.
I hope you each are having a great week!
Your wildflowers are beautiful! I've been doing EPP hexagon flowers lately, and the whole process is totally addictive.
Gorgeous stars! I love EPP too!
Beautiful!!
I love your flowers – such pretty colours!
So pretty!
Exciting news. Looking forward to seeing your new kitchen when it's done (you do plan to share, right?)
Pretty stars. Glad you're enjoying the hand sewing
These are GORGEOUS. Looking forward to seeing more! We totally have the same fabric tastes 😀
I love your stars – how many are you planning?
Beautiful stars and a great name for them!
