Happy Stars pattern release expected soon

Alyce over at Blossom Heart Quilts (www.blossomheartquilts.com) is getting back on the design wagon. I had the opportunity to test this lovely "mini" for her. It is a paper pieced and makes up as a 24" block. She has blogged about her design inspiration today and is expecting to release her pattern soon. I decided to go wild and crazy with my little test, or should I say wild and Happy! I had a big piece of background fabric that had splashes of colour and I pulled colours from that for my bands. Just need to remove the paper and get this one quilted.
I taught another beginner quilting class today. Summer people are arriving in our community and wanting workshops on weekends when they will be at their cottages. Our daughter has lined us up for babysitting every other week this summer so I am already feeling like the Summer of 2015 is going to disappear before it is even here.
Piecefully, Joanne

Today's post is brought to you by the number 5

When my daughter was much younger she loved The Count on Sesame Street. In fact it was a toss up between The Count and Big Bird as to who was her favourite. I am in part a retired Math teacher so I too love numbers (and the things you can do with them). So when Alyce at Blossom Heart Quilts (here) asked for testers to test her remaining numbers to complete her A, B, C and numbers one to ten pattern I jumped at the opportunity. This pieced block worked beautifully and it was very easy to put together. I see a "numbers" quilt in the future.
Yesterday afternoon I had the opportunity to talk online about getting started with blogging. Preparing for the talk sure reminded me about all the things I  do not do well and made me aware of all the things I do not know. But one thing I have found out since I have been blogging is that there is always someone out there who knows how to do whatever you are trying to do and is more than willing to answer your questions.
We did not get the huge snowfall that Toronto and much of southern Ontario had yesterday. What a blessing. We have a little light snow today but nothing that makes getting around difficult. Piecefully, Joanne
