I finished the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2017\/09\/done-en-provence-hsts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HSTs for En Provence<\/a>, which, in a roundabout way, led me to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2017\/09\/qst-success\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">QSTs<\/a>. I did cut out more Little Cell Phone Wallets, but I haven&#8217;t yet sewed any of them. I want to do a big assembly line and just need to take the first step. At least, they are ready to go.<\/p>\n<p>I also made progress on the Stars Donation top #3.
