We're trimming half square triangles this week in We're trimming half square triangles this week in #kindredspiritsqal and that generates lots of trimmings and shavings! But we don't throw them away! Oh no! Add some sparkly threads, or bits of yarn, a splash of water soluble fabric, and abra-cadabra, you get a brand new piece of fabric to turn into applique shapes, brooches, cards and more!

Week 4 in #kindredspiritsqal is The Friendship Sta Week 4 in #kindredspiritsqal is The Friendship Star. We are making 2 of these smaller blocks, and our technique focus is #halfsquaretriangles . I love this little variation with the cute pinwheel in the centre. Traditionally, the Pioneer women would have embroidered their names in the centre squares when making these quilt gifts for friends who moved onto to new territories. Can't wait to see our kindred spirits' friendship stars! #friendshipstar #quiltblocks #sewingtogether #communitysewing #justjudedesigns #patchworkandquilting
