Now I have to tag 5 bloggers whose work I find inspirational. It will be difficult because there are so many great quilters out there who write interesting blogs. The 5 I have selected are not the only ones I like but the number is limited!
Lucy from the Netherlands: She makes wonderful quilts and her style is so unique and yet appeals to a lot of us.
Bea started me on my blog journey. She encouraged me and told me of the swap organized by Cynthia. She makes so many things, I wonder if she sleeps at all!
Tazzie from Australia: she has already been tagged a few times but I love the way she shares her quilt stories and her sock knitting!
Pamina makes sweet quilts with an old-fashion touch to them that I find simply awesome.
Judy seems to like brown like me and I love seeing how her different quilts develop as the days go by.
I would have liked to name a few more like Dawn, Atet, Carole, Hanne, Mrs Goodneedle... from you as well I gather inspiration from your blogs and I thank you for your encouraging comments.
Right, a post without a picture is not so interesting so here is the second star I made for my hand-sewing workshop. I understand now why one sees so few of these stars with all the points meeting in the middle! I tried a few times and it was never as perfect as I would have liked. I think it has to do with the bulk of fabric in the middle so I decided to put a small button. I can live with that and I hope my students can do as well!

Oh..... the block looks beautiful! I've never tried hand piecing. I figure with my love of hand applique and the number of projects I have, I don't think I could make time for yet another hand project. Perhaps in the future. Thank you for thinking of me! Keep well and happy quilting!
Wow..that's a lovely block! Stunning.
Very interesting the way the star sits in opposite backgrounds. I've never seen that before but it really make a stunning and eye catching block!
This block is beautiful... and so perfectly pieced!! I love it!
The block is amazing- all those points. I'm sure it could never be done by machine.
This block is georgeus.
ciao ciao
lovely block Gwen.
Love your block, Gwen! I love the presision of hand piecing, but so many seams intersecting is a nightmare :o) I'm sure the students can live with a button in the centre!

Umm..me? really? *blush* thank you! That block is stunning by the way, and frankly, that little button really adds a design element to the block. How many points? And it is HAND pieced? You amaze me!

Hello, your little sister again, back from singapore with mum. Had a great time looking around all the fabric shops in town. Don't say I don't love you! I could have been sunbathing! Lots of love, lovely quilts by the way!
