the end is in sight!

i threw this picture in just for fun; i found it again when i was going through my computer uploading my RSC pictures.


way back in the spring, when social distancing was in full force, a local photographer had this "virtual photo session" as a fund raiser for a local charity. the girls and i thought it would be fun to participate. we were all tickled with how it turned out: B (13), hubby Dave, me and A (14). even the cat, Millie and Walker the beagle are included. and believe it or not, it's a fairly accurate portrayal of our family. 


i missed posting in September (par for the course for me) so here's a bit of catch up on my RSC canoodling: 



4 yellow quilty stars blocks, my attempt at showcasing different yellows. and yes, the first one, cheddar yellow, does look quite a bit orange... 



i did show one of the August red stars in the proper month, but here's the rest of the red quilty stars. 


observant, (and regular?!) readers will notice that i had to switch the background fabric yet again for these guys. 


again, i tried to differentiate and showcase each of the different reds: red, maroon, rusty red and white reds. whenever i post these blocks on my Facebook page, they get alot of likes, so they do seem to be popular. 


 i'm nearly done with these quilty stars for RSC20- i'm just finishing up the brown, grey and black ones, so hopefully i'll be back soon to share the final installment... 

Instagram has been all aflutter with this year's #snowflakesewalong. i jumped in this year, and i'm pretty chuffed (been watching too many BBC shows and/or following British blogs/feeds...) at my snowflake- i used grey, aqua, navy, purple and black. 

i may pop back in to share that progress, too, soon. my snowflake quilt is already ironed and pin basted- nearly a personal record for me! in the meantime, be sure to click on over to Angela's blog on Saturday morning to see what everyone else is sewing for RSC20

Here's another LIKE here from me. Love the stars! The family "portrait" is great too!

Those stars are so great! Perfect for lots of little scraps. I've been working with some cheddar, too - I'm never sure if it's orange or yellow!

Your star blocks are wonderful, as usual. I’m such a big fan of the simple yet creative and effective scrap blocks you come up with!
