Here's mine ...
#87... Star Gardener
and
#88 ... Star of Hope
90/111 ... which means atleast two more and then I can do my 2nd PC!

Oh I love the Star Gardener-the key to great looking small blocks has always been great contrast and this one proves it.
I had to zoom to 400%, but I could read the sweet saying under the little sparrow. "Turn me loose and let me be, Young once more and fancy, free. Let me wander where I will, Down the lane and up the hill"
Everyone, my jaw drops everytime I see your blocks. The stitching is so precise, the colors combos and fabric selections are spectacular. I can't wait to get through all the threads, it's been a treat to be in the back of the pack.

ITA on that being a great advantage of being at the back of the pack! However, the front runners got to see them gradually ... and I've always envied their journey together and camaraderie developed along the way. So I guess it's Win-Win no matter where you are!
Thanks OKSGlad ... as I worked on the SGardener, I couldn't help but wonder would the beige one be a CW? The bird fabric was one I found recently when I was looking for PC extras. There's about a dozen different birds, some with text. I used a robin from it in #65 Peaceful Hours. It had the Alphabet!!!
And thank you too for teaching me the 200/400% trick. I knew it was there, but never thought it'd make such a difference to seeing some of the blocks. It really does help bring my poorer photos to better visibility. You Ladies with scanners ... I envy! I love how we can see every detail, right down to the weave of the fabric!!

Yes, it's something that I've been meaning to do for sometime ... as you know I'm so not a computer-geek, so hate the shopping part of it and knowing whether it's what I want/need! Someday I'm going to kidnap a "kid" who knows all about this stuff and take them shopping with me!
Currently, I have a laser and am quite happy with it .... for quilting, it'd be such a blessing to have a colour printer when I print out patterns, block ideas, etc. Now to find the kid!
