I can envision myself being carted off to the undertakers with a needle in my hand and swatch of cloth in the other. We can never get it all done, but I, too,dislike leaving things undone. Our Yankee thrift and aversion to waste? Who knows.<br /><br />Those EPP stars are so beautiful! You almost convince me to take it up. I have another friend who is doing these stars--maybe she got the idea from you? Anyway--thanks for showing us all, and good luck on your UFOs!<br /><br />Elizabeth E.<br />occasionalpiece.wordpress.comLetterpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13983311236791267553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259558187936840360.post-40922376226213671752012-01-24T12:04:43.470-05:002012-01-24T12:04:43.470-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10449153053042003955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259558187936840360.post-77609508277378164382012-01-24T12:04:42.600-05:002012-01-24T12:04:42.600-05:00Thank you for the UFO report.

I can relate to Susan's ufo - I often get stuck for months (or years) at the border stage. The quilting you have done on your Olympic star is so very lovely!! Thanks for the closeup - I liked seeing how the border cable incorporates the 1/2 wreath in the setting triangles.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07413787362860014295noreply@blogger.com
