Monday Morning Star Count 2015/4

I have NO EPP to show this week.  If you've been following me on Instagram (@jessica_alex), you'll know that I've been sewing Log Cabin blocks for the scrappy log cabin qal, but not a stitch of EPP..

Why?  Is there ever really a good excuse?  I guess this is as good as any..
I got a JOB!  A real, full time teaching position at an Elementary school full of sweet sweet sweet Japanese kids.  And I LOVE it.  Really.  So, no EPP, but lots of smiles this week.  I guess that makes up for it.
 But never fear, we've got terrible weather here this week and I've got TWO snow days.. maybe some stitching will get done after all...

How about you?  Link up below!!

Monday Morning Star Count 2015/3


I think this is diamond #19, I'll have to lay them out and recount over the weekend.
 If you have a copy of Quilting on the Go, this is one of the fussy cut bird hexies from p. 25. I'm glad he found a comfortable new home.
If anybody is local, I've got new dates for our Sit N Sews at the Rockville Center Library..
This coming Saturday, 1/24, as well as:
February 7 and 21
March 7 and 21
 as always, 10-12 in the small meeting room downstairs. Bring any hand sewing to work on.

Monday Morning Star Count 2015/2

I did something rather special this week.  Something I haven't done in a long time.
I got on a plane by myself.  No kids.  And I sewed.


Travel Quilt #5 is steadily growing.  Diamond #18 and part of 19, and lots of pieced sashing hexies.

Your turn~

Monday Morning Star Count 2015/1

Are we ready for another year of EPP progress and accountability?  I hope so...
This past weekend, I basted a bunch of black hexies for the sashing on Travel Quilt #5.  I also may have started Travel Quilt #6 a few weeks ago.. but I'm not ready to share it yet.


I'd love to see what you're all working on.  Please give me encouragement and motivation to blog at least once a week in 2015...
