Welcome to the ravelry blog hub blog hop. I am a newbie to the group and I thought that we could have some fun. Over the next 30 days me and other group members will attempt to finish our WIPs(works in progress) . I believe one member said she has a quilt wip that is 7 years old. :) heres is the link to the ravelry group. At the end of the 30 days, I will post my finished WIPs with a list of all other members so our readers can hop blog to blog. Please comment and follow who you like! :) Come back on September 18th.

As promised, here is my WIP ( work in progress) of the star stitch. I am not sure what I want to make with this stitch yet.  In the video from the previous blog , the demonstrator made a wash cloth. I am thinking maybe a headband or I can add it to something as a trim .hmmmm :)  I will share the project on Friday :)
