Just sewing (and knitting) along...

Once again, I have completed another part of a BOM (block of the month) but this time I skipped one month.

This is called Cathy's Star (at Quilters' Cache) and it's January's installment of Cathy's Carousel BOM. This BOM began in October and the patterns are still available if anyone wants to join in.
 I have not yet done the December paper pieced compass and since I don't want to make a mistake, I will work on it slowly. I have the colours of the fabrics chosen so I just have to sew it.

I am almost done the second cowl too.

This time I used Patons Decor. Another nice, soft yarn - great for around the neck.

Another pair of pajamas got made too.

They are for Luc again.

Doggy fabric remnant at Fabricland for $1.60. I'm glad I picked it up because...

I didn't have enough of the Dalmatian flannel to make the pants too. I suppose I could do shorts but I won't.

This came in the mail. It's from my Quilting Gallery Sochi Mug Rug swap partner in Australia. Christine lives in Australia but she is a New Zealander. The fabric is a gorgeous piece depicting the flowers of Australia. Thank you very much Christine. I will show you all what I sent to Christine once she receives it.

I'm going to link up with the Needle and Thread Network and with Esther's blog.

    I, too, like the star block. The two smaller stars make it unique. Sweet pj's and scarf, and your swap partner did a nice job, too.

    The star block is beautiful with the little star in one corner. Lovely PJ's, the fabric was a great find. Your knitting is also lovely, that yarn looks so soft and I love the colour.

    You've been very productive. The block is intriguing with the "extra" stars. The cowl looks comfy and warm. The pajamas are adorable. Very nice rug mug swap - I look forward to seeing what you sent her.

    Oh, you have been busy lately! The star looks very interesting... it reminds me of Ohio star. I have to "pin" it for my green star quilt;o)

    the pyjamas are too cute!! I can't wear rubber gloves happily...I'm weird, I need to ''feel'' what I'm doing. Sad but true :(
