Friday started out with some preparation work.
I cut out the fabrics for the sewing kit I am making.
Next up was eight bias strips ready for making folded stars.
On Saturday, our Chit Chat Crafters group were meeting at our place
and I was showing them how to make the stars.

FNSI continued with the girls in the Northern Hemisphere.
I made my self two more stars while demonstrating them to the girls.
They all made two each as well. All the different colour combinations
were lovely. I forgot to take a photo of everyone's stars.

So now I have four folded stars to do something with! 
Finally finished the last few stitches on my needle case.
Stitched four hexagons together until I accidently pulled the thread
from the needle. For some reason, I just couldn't re-thread it and my threader
was hiding somewhere in the sewing room. I need to have a clean out!
So I made a start on the last of these stitcheries for little banners.
A bit of stitching was achieved in between all the chatting and eating!
Thank you to Wendy for being such a lovely hostess.
You can see what everyone else got up to here.

What a busy time - I love the little stars. xx
You had a great two evenings/days stitching and worked on a few projects.
Stars look great and I look forward to seeing the sewing case put together.
Did you have a needle threaded to work on the christmas stitchery ??
They are very pretty fabrics for your project Christine!
Love your sewing stars. A long time ago (sometime in the early 90s! Ha!) while we were stationed in Hawaii, I learned to make those stars but we used tapa leaves, what the Hawaiians used to make mats. Wish I could remember how to make those stars now! The stitcheries are lovely too. ❤
Lovely to see all the bits you are making and sewing. The stars are really cute!
Looks like you had a lovely time Christine and your folded stars are really clever! Love the different combinations of colours! Christine x

Such cute little stars. A busy night at your house.
