Diamonds are a girl's best friend...

Well, some girls...

I picked up some 60 degree diamond paper pieces at the craft fair and have been slightly obsessively hand sewing diamonds.

Some members of this household do not agree with this new fascination. These were the instructions:


Worse was catching the little monster removing the paper for me... Not the right bit. She still has to work on her technique.


And I've said a sad sayonara to the Do.Good Stitches bee. Here are my last two blocks.

I really liked how these turned out. :) One bee a month is enough for me however, so these were my last for dgs. With the Perth Modern Quilt group ramping up, I need every spare minute!

Joining up with Lyn at BOMs away Monday (a bit late but better late than never!).

  7. The diamonds look great. I'm not surprised you're enjoying them. Just as well you don't need instructions though. Too funny! :)
    I bet it's hard to tell them off when they look so cute and innocent :)

Yippee - you're commenting! I _love_ comments. :) I've had so much spam lately though that I'm limiting to registered users for a bit to see if that works... If you're a friend, you can find me on Facebook and comment that way if you have trouble.
