Here is my Fussy Cut Star for the week, along with last week's star. I used the same fabric as last week but in a different way.
I finished the stitching on the pincushion and fob for the second Colonial Gatherings piece (from Dyeing to Stitch), designed by Tanya of Scarlett House. This is the Strawberry House.
And I started the Red Deer Sampler from GigiR Designs using the called for fabric and fibers.
I have more done than this, but it's pretty boring since I'm only stitching the green part of the border right now.
Over the weekend, we went to our favorite mall for a bit of this.
We love Johnny Rocket's! We also got on the ferris wheel. I doubt the father type has ever been on it before. The boy child and I haven't ridden it since he was tiny.
The view from the top.
Thanks as always for stopping by and saying hi. I hope everyone has a great week!

Beautiful quilt work...your fussy cut stars are AmAzInG!! Looks like a fun lunch. And as always sweet, sweet Mia. All is well snuggled with the boy child. :)
Margaret, your quilt blocks continue to amaze!! It always warms my heart to see Mia and her boy.
Congratulations on finishing 100 Tula Pink quilt blocks. I would not be able to pick out a favorite..I love them all. This will become one fantabulous quilt. Love your stitching too. Don't you love GiGi's designs? I have many of them and only need more time in the day!!
Hugs to you and your family. And kitty kisses to Mia. Have a great week!!
You are so diligent with those quilt blocks and stars! They look wonderful as usual.
Nice to see those x's back. Such beautiful colors for this time of year.
Where is that mall? Looks like real fun!
I like the way the change in the way you used the fabric came out - very clever. Mia looks so cute with her crossed legs. I think I would give the ferris wheel a miss:-)
Great you started the Red Deer your going to love stitching it! In fact the way you stitch you may even finish before me!
I love all your fussy stars..that's going to be a fabulous quilt! Congrats on the Tula Pink finish...what a beauty!
Looks like those two are "nestled...all snug in their bed"!
Have a great week,
Robyn
It is so much fun each Monday seeing your accomplishments from the previous week--always amazing and inspiring! I'm particularly taken with those fussy stars.
Know you and your husband and Mia are thrilled to have your son home for a bit.
Lots of lovely things, as always. You are always saying you want to stitch what I stitch. Well, today, it's the other way. I was just asking a friend to borrow the Red Deer sampler! I don't know when I'll get it. By the time I get it kit up you'll be finished, I'm sure!
Nice to see Mia with her favourite boy!
That is going to be a gorgeous quilt! And, the little x's are looking good--I love the Strawberry House!!
Those stars are AMAZING! Absolutley love them. Your SH pieces look great - must find time to get to mine and the Red Deer sampler will be fun to watch come to life. Beautiful work, as always. Have a great week!
That's going to be one happy quilt when you put those Tula blocks together. I love the star too. It's amazing how it's so different from the other one. Have a great week!
Wow your quilt blocks are so lovely..
And it's always so sweet to see Mia and lovely boy..
Love for you all
Hugs x
Your quilt is stunning! And I love the strawberry house :)
Looks like the Ferris Wheel was a good time, and I see Mia is glad her bed fellow is back! :)
The stitching looks so sweet! How fun that your mall has a ferris wheel! Danbury has a merry go round :) Have a great week, Margaret!
Great finish of the Tula Pink Blocks!
You stars are wonderful!
Have a great week.

Love the two different looks you got from the same fabric for your fussy cut quilt!
Wonderful Tula blocks. And stars. I wish we had a Johnny Rockets. Have not had that in almost two decades now.
Margaret, your Tula Pink quilt is beautiful! Every week I look forward to seeing your fussy cut star - they are amazing! Gigis red deer sampler is going to be beautiful. I love the Strawberry House. Thanks as always for sharing your beautiful stitching Margaret. You really are an inspiration. Mia looks completely comfortable and so adorable! Have a great week.
Is you DS taking the summer seminar off? hope so - he looks comfortable in his bed with his quilt and kitty. Glad you are making great progress on your projects - hope your week continues to be awesome - Mel
You sure have a great eye for colors, especially coordinating the blocks. They look amazing! The stars look like their 2 different coordinating fabrics - so pretty.
Love your Strawberry house. How wonderful to have the boy home:) Lovely outing and oooh how cool to have a Ferris wheel inside a mall!
love Annette
LOVE your strawberry house...and the little bit you show from your new sampler. Beautiful! I can't wait to see your tula pink quilt...and the one with all those amazing stars! Happy Mother's Day coming up soon!
Hi Margaret! Love your squares (especially the squirrel) == can't wait to see the finished quilt!! And your stars are very pretty. Don't think I can do the ride -- my stomach was feeling funny just from your pictures - lol. Wimp I am!
The pic of your son is priceless Margaret. I love it. Great to see your stitching again. It looks like you had a great burger and fun time. I think Mia is happy to have her buddy back.

Wow, I would love to go to that mall and take a ride. That's wild.
I am interested to see how you put those blocks together. Will you include the beautiful fussy cut stars? Very nice.
Strawberry house is a great design!
great blocks, and stitching
I can't wait to see all of your blocks put together. That quilt is going to be so pretty. Love your Scarlett House stitching.
Looks like you are having fun!
Hugs to you and Mia!
Glad to see you've taken your stitching back up. Looks like a fun afternoon!
Miss Mia sure loves the Boy Child! The fussy cuts are awesome--when do you start putting the quilt together? LearningEnglish piecing is on my list.
Looking forward to next release of Colonial Gathering
Hi Margaret, I am finally getting caught up with blogs. I am always amazed at hw much you get done in a week, I am so jealous. So glad your son is home and we knw Mia is very happy.
A ferris wheel in a mall--wow, that must be one giant mall :)
Your quilt blocks and little stitched pieces look great, Margaret. I'm sure you're happy to have your son home and I'll bet Mia is in heaven!! Hope he has a relaxing summer!
Fantastic quilt squares and star. Love all the colours.
Gorgeous little x's too!
Looks like Mia is happy your DS is home!
I don't think I've ever seen an indoor Ferris wheel before. Huh! Maybe being indoors would help me with the wobblies I get on those. :)
Great work on the fussy stars. It's so interesting how just a slight change with the fabric results in something totally different.
Love your two different ways on your fussy stars and also the stitching designs and the stitching, of course. Your sleeping boy child looks like my two boys when they sleep with their cats!
Congratulations on finishing the Tula Pink blocks and the Strawberry House smalls, they are gorgeous.
Great start on your new sampler
Love your stitching and sweet mia
I'm very curious now to see how you will put all the blocks of the Tula Pink quilt together.
Strawberry House is looking so beautiful.
