Mexican star

Ooooh it is nearly two months since my last blog, this has reminded me of when I used to go to church many moons ago and I had to go to confession, these were the exact same words I used to say apart from the word blog of course, but I won't be confessing any of my sins on here LOL!

Anyway I am still busy beavering away in my sewing corner, and do have lots to show you I've just got out of the habit of blogging.

This is a quilted wall hanging based on a mexican star design, which I loved making. I added some free motion embroidery in the corners, which I'm learning very very slowly.

A very belated Happy New Year to you all.

Happy Crafting xx

    Well worth waiting for, Paula! What a stunning piece of work. I love the subtle florals putting in their precious rare appearances within the red, and what a glorious design with those curved segments... just amazing.

    It takes my breath away. The patience and precision required must be immense!
    Paula, I am reading a wonderful novel at the moment with the main character a Quaker and there is much talk of quilting.
    Good to see you back blogging.
    Wishes

    I'm smiling at your confession memories Paula - snap! Your wall-hanging is an incredible accomplishment - it's truly beautiful, talk about a labour of love. I'm not sure what "free motion embroidery" is - but I bet that you are brilliant at it! Good to see you post. Nicola x
