Birthday Fun and a Winner!

I'm having a lot of fun sewing these jewel star hexies. I am using small scraps for some pieces and really pushing it on seam allowance but this will be a mini for me so I'm not concerned about it too much.

I so enjoy pulling out those precious pieces of fabric that you save for just the right thing, many from sweet friends, that I received in swaps over the years. Slowly working on a piece. I get really excited with each new star. The fussy cutting, well, you know, it's just the icing on the cake!

My birthday was last weekend and I sat down for some birthday sewing! Only I didn't sew anything I had planned. One of my girls wanted to sew. I could not refuse! She was so excited and loved every. single. minute!!!

Here is the beginning of her placemat. I think it's beautiful!

I ordered some pretty fabric for my birthday (of course)!!! Some lucious Liberty prints and some other favorites too!

Another fabric line I've been drooling over lately is Lighthearted by the super sweet and talented Ayumi!!! These florals are so pretty with the tiny strawberries too, gah! love them!

I have a couple of things I've been working on that I'll share another time. I feel a sense of freedom right now. I have 3 flimsies and only a handful of WIPs. It feels good to finish things up and also knowing what projects to let go of because your just not feeling it anymore. Time is far to precious to work on things you don't love. I'm slowly learning that just because I see a quilt that I absolutely adore doesn't always mean I have to make it or add it to "the list". It's okay to admire and move on, really!
