Linda Swanekamp sent me a photo of her Star Swap Blocks. Read more on her blog here. She really went the extra mile making these double stars with lots of great black and whites. I love it! Can you spot your stars?

Baby It's Cold Outside
I'm glad I don't live in this log cabin - I bet it is drafty! It is -7 here in Connecticut this morning. Yikes!
I'm moving right long doing big stitch quilting on Hanna's wedding quilt. Less than 2 months to go. It will be done by the end of February.
I've been cleaning out my quilt stuff and trying to get it more organized. You can tell which color stacks I've sorted.
When I saw Wendy's (The Constant Quilter) blog, it made me think I wonder what is in my little lunch box?Well bust my buttons, I have circles in mine too! and they were from wendy!Hhhmm, what was the plan for these???Maybe something like this?Okay, I have to be honest. I am not loving these. Maybe that's why they were put away. I may have 'unsew' these and come up with a new plan.My new movie challenge is watch the 100 Best Black Films to celebrate Black History Month. I've seen several but if I don't really remember it I will rewatch it. Yesterday I viewed Malcolm X and it was powerful! Denzel is one of my favorite actors.

Sweet Retreat!
Happy Friday! The big stitching has begun!
I got away for 3 days for a quilting retreat. It was wonderful. I always bring a pillow and quilt from home to sleep under if I'm driving. This one went perfectly with my hotel room decor.

they still need pressing - yes, I press them after I put the kleenex in. See the cover third up from bottom on the right. That one is pressed.I made a dolly quilt inspired by Beth's quilt in Yellowstone.
I didn't have the right grey, but I made do. I also added the yellow floral print. My sewing neighbor, Alice, agreed it added some sweetness and color.The way to appreciate a doll quilt is on a doll bed.
