Last night, after printing and cutting out another stack of the little hexagons, I was compelled to print out one charm of the diamonds. I couldn’t resist making two stars from the new .50″ diamond Inklingo collection. The seams are so short that it truly is one load of stitches on the needle and you’re done. One could make a lot of these stars in next to no time. I think I made the two of them in less than 20 minutes. Didn’t time it, but I will next time. From a 5″ charm, I had enough diamonds for 3 of these little stars.
Now I’m thinking of making a miniature Seven Sisters quilt using these. They are such fun to stitch.
Lester, one of the few times we’ve managed to get a shot of him when his ruff didn’t look awful. We can comb and comb and comb him but as we comb he is licking and chewing on his ruff so that it looks as though he’s never groomed! Or wandering about with it partially stuck in his mouth. Very goofy — yet another reason he is so well-loved!


Love the baby stars! My Rhapsody keeps pulling on her fur as she grroms – so I often get to see that “What is stuck in my mouth” look.

What cute little stars – glad you put the ruler there …. goodness, but they are tiny. Enjoy the gorgeous weather – my son is going sailing for the day tomorrow so I get to hang out at the Yacht Club and enjoy some warmth and sunshine.

Cathi, do you have the hexagon pattern on computer…where you could email it to me? I might like to take that along on our next trip…. something small that wouldn’t take up much room. Probably the only way I will ever do one.

oh my gosh, those starts are teeny.. perfect ‘take along project’.. My evil pusspuss eats his ruff too.. can brush him to within in an inch of perfection and then he goes and eats his ruff.. sometimes his white ruff around his black face makes him look like a VAMPIRE cat.. very hilarious!
