 KO>   But, I must admit, there is another
 KO> Friendship Star I like even better than yours.  The first one I made
 KO> was Doris' mini: I liked the way it sparkled.  I decided to make the
 KO> big one like yours for Shauna but I made each star a different color.
 KO> I *really* like the way *that* one sparkled.  
     Hi Kathy!
     I got it today!  It's gorgeous and it does sparkle!  Thank you for
     the beautiful Friendship Star block.  You have a natural talent for
     putting the right fabrics together  :)   
     Also have to thank you for the basket block (with butterflies on it)
     and the 2 pinwheel blocks.  Like I was telling Pat, it will be at 
     least next year before I start any of my exchange block quilts, so 
     I'm just going to enjoy playing with them   :)
 KO> I did my purple project!  It was a "discipline" thang: I forced myself
 KO> to use up some of the scraps & smaller pieces I have (had, I should
 KO> say.)  I did a Triple Irish Chain in purples & machine-embroidered
 KO> floral wreaths on the white alternate blocks.  The thing hung on my
 KO> makeshift design wall in the dining room (a piece of felt tacked
 KO> along the top of 2 side-by-side cabinets) until I took it down before
 KO> it stretched out of shape!  I still haven't decided what to do about
 KO> borders: I'm debating between a Seminole-type or a border of minis.
     I, too, have this problem with my Triple Irish Chain.  Have no real
     great border ideas yet but they may hit me when I'm least expecting
     them  :)  I really would love to see your quilt.  Mine is done in
     fabrics purchased for this quilt but our instructor for the course
     I took to make it, did up a small double irish chain in scrappy
     pinks and greens.  It was beautiful so I would really love to see
     yours as purple is one of my favourite colors too!
 KO> That will be my maybe-September project - after the school clothes
 KO> are finished & before the Christmas sewing starts.  :)
     Kathy, you must be so organized.  I try to be by writing down the
     projects I want to tackle at the beginning of the month.  If I do
     them, I can cross them off my list and if I don't want to do them
     anymore I cross them off my list  :)
     I have to agree, that time flies between now and September and from
     September until Christmas.  I, too, have to start school clothes
     and Christmas sewing.  So onto some more inspiring pictures to get
     me going...
