Noriko’s Star

The last time I showed this quilt it looked like this – Noriko’s Star – I don’t remember who it was but someone asked a short while ago where could they get the pattern.  There is no pattern available I saw it on Pinterest and I’m copying the photo.  I do not claim the pattern as mine.  As far as I know the quilt was made by a Japanese quilter and there were no links to it on Pinterest.  She had made it in darker taupe colors.  It actually is easier to copy a hexagon pattern than one would think.  Just find the center of the quilt and start to map it out – I never drew it out, I am going by the photo.   I started with the center element and went from there.  On some it might be easier to go row by row.  Linking to My Quilt Infatuation —Wednesday Wait Loss —

I have enough hexies thread basted now for the next section of white with flowers and will work on layout today

I will clear the dining room table off today and spread it out and make sure I have the line up right.

Because of off and on storms and not sure if we would have lightening or not I didn’t get done with much at the sewing machine as I kept unplugging it – the photo is crooked I see but I did get done with half of it.  I will finish this one today (finally I think no storms – we will see) and see about starting another.  I know I have some blueberries to pick today but won’t take long there isn’t a lot of them right now.

Quilting on the Carpenter’s Wheel from Tuesday night almost got the side border done but when I’m tired I quit – there is always the next day of the week to quilt!

Another hexie quote – like this quote I find sewing and quilting put the stress aside and you think of other things.

When I wasn’t sewing I was reading my new on Kindle book – by Nora Roberts – Mind Games – it is pulling me in!  I read so many kindle unlimited books that I don’t pay for a book very often anymore but I preordered this one as I knew I would want it in my library – I do read books more than once

I took advantage of the 25% off at Connecting Threads last night and order a backing for the design wall quilt – I have a very large piece put aside for the NYB but nothing for the smaller one.  I think the sale at Green Fairy is for another 3 days but not sure!
