Wishing Star colour scheme by Clever Chameleon

How the blazes did it get to Tuesday again?

No matter. That just means it’s time to party again! Woo hoo, I love this time I set aside each week  to really delve into what others have been up to.

On my side of the fence…… there has been much quilty activity in my sewing room. Sadly, most of it can’t be revealed to you just yet. But I did make a bookmark we can talk about. 🙂 It’s a nice little bookmark, made from scraps of my Aurora Star table runner. I’ve added a little wishing star at the top for luck. I thought it was a nice little nod to the parent project the scraps came from.

Actually, I want to give my little aurora wishing star bookmark away to someone who would like it ….  So, let’s have a little game at the Chameleon’s party this week – with my new bookmark as the highly sought after and contested prize!. lol 🙂

Aurora Star Revisit: Colour Inspiration Tuesday and Link Party

Aurora Star color scheme from Clever Chameleon

Today I have for you a recycled idea and a brand new quilt!

Starstruck theme by Island BatikFor September, the theme for the Island Batik Ambassador projects is “Starstruck”. This theme immediately and happily put me in mind of a quilt design I conceived for Colour Inspiration Tuesday last November. Finally, I had a reason to put “Aurora Star” at the top of the ideas-to-play-with priority queue. Then, noticing that it’s now Bloggers’ Quilt Festival Week,  I found the extra motivation I needed to get a quilt finish on the table asap. Literally. Ha! There’s a filthy big clue to what I’ve made this week.  🙂

Colour Inspiration Tuesday: Welcome to My House blog hop

Welcome to My House color scheme by Clever Chameleon

My house is part shambles, part memories, part make-do, and all love. So is my mini quilt!

Welcome to My House! This is my stop on the latest fun blog hop being hosted by Carol of Just Let Me Quilt where every stop has a project with a house on it.

Well…… most stops……. technically my mini quilt doesn’t feature a house after all. I started with the best of intentions, but being improv, it evolved slightly.

Welcome to My House blog hop

But it is a quilt that features the essence of a building, and every kid you know will wish they lived there. And it started life as a house quilt. So I think it still counts. Welcome to the “my kids wish it was” My House blog hop stop!
