Today's block is a star so it is near and dear to my heart (of course). About half way through piecing it I realized I had made something similar to it before, although it was an entire quilt. If you leave the corner triangles off it becomes a hexagon...and the perfect table topper.
This is number 339 of 366 blocks (I have been working my way through the 365 Quilt Blocks a Year Calendar this year and am so close to being finished I can hardly stand it!) This is a 12-inch block.
Now for the giveaway. This time of year I end up bringing my projects with me as I tend to spend a lot of time waiting at basketball practices, in between games and other activities my son participates in, and it gets dark so quickly it makes my stitching time short. I found these Ott Lights a few years ago and they are perfect to take along in your bag. They are actually compact enough you can fit it in your purse. There is also a clip on the back so you can hang it from your purse or even your coat. Anyway, I love mine and would love to share one with two different winners.
I have also found they work great in poorly lit areas at home. To enter leave me a comment telling me where you stitch when you wait, the car, a hallway, steps, the great outdoors, or maybe at your kitchen table. If you are already a follower or a new follower leave me a second comment stating that for another chance to win. I will use the random number generator to choose the winners on December 8 at 5 p.m CST, and I will ship internationally. Happy Stitching!! --Kristen

We just moved several weeks ago, so I'm stitching in the garage behind the wall of tubbies. My husband thinks I'm "organizing boxes" . Shhhhh!! This light would come in handy!

I stitch wherever I'm stuck- airports, cars, waiting rooms. Great giveaway!

I would LOVE to win these lights, everyone I know who has one raves about it, I craft at a small desk in my bedroom and the light is awful, this would be such a help to me. Thank you for offering it as a giveaway!

I stitch in my corner of the couch, next to one of the few lamps in my living room (it's an old house, so there aren't too many electrical outlets here. So an Ott light would really come in handy! Thanks for the chance to win a giveaway, Diana
