We took a fantastic vacation, returned home, laundry, sleep and re-entry to the real world.
I had visions of posts and ideas…..BUT mother nature had another thought ! Our condo building was hit by lighting, after we returned (Florida’s the lighting capital) it hit our cable, internet lines and blow my PC Computer, printer and TV cable boxes.
Off to the repair guy…. not repairable, off to get my laptop and thank goodness all was able to be moved to it…. I had a lot backed up on USB, but of course not everything…. I hope to get back into a schedule here again, the hard part is finding everything…But, that will come too ???? in the mean time !
I’m usually one who goes to white for my background color. With this quilt block being a traditional star I wanted to change to a colored background and it’s PINK ! The finished quilt block is 12″ x 12″
Nothing better than a two-color quilt pattern and this star is a perfect example. This quilt block is only one of the 68 Quilt Blocks made into a fantastic quilt in my book The Ladies at my Etsy Shop and now in print
