Liz and Jan have posted updates on their Stars for the New Millennium designs. They are working together but in very different colors, which makes for fascinating viewing. The colors they each choose make each Stars block different because the colors emphasize different parts of the pattern. Here is Jan's Deborah Kerr block.

And here is Liz's finished Deborah Kerr. I just noticed that they are not doing the tiny stars where the block sashing meet but are doing the borders as they work the blocks. I did just the opposite--all my little sashing corner stars were done first thing but I'm not going to do the outside borders until last. Everyone works differently, but I found the borders too confusing to work in a stop and start again fashion. That threw my count off.

Hi Jane. You know I've been filming Tony for his upcoming Back to Basics DVDS. Today, I showed him your blog and the blogs to the 2 people stitching Stars for the New Millennium. You know Tony is so busy teaching, traveling, and stitching that he doesn't get a chance to follow all of the blogs like I do. Tony loved seeing everyone's stitching. Just wanted to pass the compliments onto the stitchers.
Thanks, Robin! I'm sure Liz and Jan will be thrilled to hear that Tony loves their progress. I'm sure it is very difficult for him to keep up with online stitching when he travels so much. On the other hand, he knows all about his students' stitching. I never get to see other stitchers in person!
