Pluggin' along...

I'm finally back on blogger and the ring! I thought I got kicked out. Blogger was sure having their share of problems last week and as a result I had to be removed from the ring because my page was blank, thereby stopping the ring. Thanks Judy for letting me back in!

I finished my Feathered Star Medallion late last night. I started cutting it out last Thursday! My husband had a crisis at work and was on the phone or at the office quite a bit, so I kept plugging away at it. All I can say is Thank Goodness for triangle paper.

I used Carol Doak's Foundation Paper, so it would tear out easily. I'll have to give credit to a fellow quilter though--at my small quilt group, a friend was at a standstill on her project, so she tore off my paper and ironed them all for me. It was a huge help!
