Since the weekend printing marathon, I’ve been cutting and getting pieces ready to stitch for Twinkling Stars as well as other quilts. As of the end of yesterday, everything for Twinkling Stars is ready to stitch.
Now Twinkling Stars is a quilt in a box, complete with the threads I’ll be using as I stitch the blocks during the baseball playoffs. The box contains some of the 5″ squares needed for the large 9-patch blocks. There are some other design elements to the quilt that aren’t in the box as they don’t fit, but they’re ready. I had been playing with a couple of different ideas and yesterday the entire quilt design really came together. I’m hoping I can get this finished before the end of the World Series, but that’s going to depend on how many games end up being played in the playoffs and World Series.
Baxter napping with his favourite toy, Cappy. He now brings Cappy to bed at night and practically tucks it in. The other morning I woke up to find Cappy under a pillow.
Love the twinkling stars! Perfect to do while watching the series. Stayed up last night and watched my Red Sox lose their chance at the wild card. So upset they will not be in the playoffs. Baxter just looks so snuggly.

Just as well Baxter only tucks Cappy under the pillow, and not himself……looking forward to seeing more Twinkling Stars!

What a night in baseball that was! Wow. I cannot wait for the play-offs to begin. I too have projects planned for those nights in front of the TV LOL!
Rumor has it the Blue Jays will be a factor next season, that things are moving in the right direction for them. π
For now, I cheer on my Tigers!! π
