I don’t usually post my quilting projects. Well, at first, I guess I did but, in any case, I just haven’t done it much lately. Anyway, I did want to share this one which I started nearly a year ago. I’ve worked on it, off and on, throughout the year and finally finished it this afternoon.

Its design is called the Carpenter Star, and it measures 82×82. I’m very pleased with how it turned out. This one was a beast to work on and I’m so glad it’s done!! Now to focus on poetry again for a little while before I start another quilt project anytime soon. At least that’s the plan!!

It’s one of those drizzly, soggy September mornings. A bit more chill in the air than we’ve experienced thus far this season. Perfect weather for diving back beneath the sheets or, if you’re a tad more ambitious, getting out of bed at 4:45 AM and spending an hour sewing blocks together for a new quilt I’m working on. I’m tired now, four hours later although a short twenty-minute nap seems to have revived me somewhat. A hot cup of tea at hand – love me some Harney & Sons’s Hot Cinnamon Spice! – and I’m almost ready to tackle that hamper full of dirty laundry.

Happy Friday everyone!
