I had promised my friend Amber a basket for do-dads on her changing table and finally got around to it this weekend. (Baby Liam is almost 2 month old...yikes!) And , here it is with my new baby, a garage sale find, works great... can you see me smiling? Also, I had quilted a signature into the Stars and Moon quilt... Have a great week!
This mini runner was designed as part of an on line row-along - the theme was My Happy Place. I have a lot of happy places, but one of my favorite things to do is to go outdoors on a dark, cloudless night and admire the heavens. I love gazing at the multitude of stars and enjoying the quiet and taking the time to enjoy the stillness of the night. This little quilt is made with three different three inch star blocks. They are all traditionally pieced - once you start making these mini blocks, you will be hooked! This is a great scrap fabrics, the largest pieces needed are 3 1/2 inch squares. The three star patterns used are Friendship Star, Ohio Star and Sawtooth Star. This row will finish at 9 inches by 30 inches and can be used either horizontally or vertically. This is a great scrap quilt, and if you are like me you probably have a few star fabrics in your stash that you can put to use to make this! Enjoy!
Another commission for the same person, all my design. Late 2003.
Stunning New York Beauty variation block pattern from 6" to 16", instructions for constructing a baby to king-sized quilt included. Foundation paper piecing includes templates for all sized blocks. This pattern was recreated from a one-of-a-kind quilt that has appeared in Pinterest from an Austrian quilt guild who didn't keep the instructions for the blocks they had each member make for their charity quilt shown at a festival in Austria. It was then auctioned off, with no pattern subsequently available. After tracking down some members of the guild, and speaking with them, after their quilt has shown up all over, folks asking what the name of it was, where they could get the pattern, I was given permission to recreate it. And here it is for your use! A Tri-Rec ruler is recommended for this pattern, but is not required to complete the Tri-Rec units that make the star points in the sashing. Upon purchase, if you wish to have a tutorial on how to make the Tri-Rec units without the ruler, please message me and I'll be happy to send the link to you. If you are interested in a printed version, please check my shop for that listing. This pattern is under US Copyright Law.

I mentioned here that I made a center block for three different medallion quilts. Two are Marcelle Medallion blocks from the medallion pattern in the Liberty Love book. The third was for the design as you go Medallion project we’re currently working on with the Utah County Modern Quilt Group. For that block I decided to make a lone star [...]
A glorious day off turned into this Rainbow Star Mini Quilt, a combination of jewel tones and black background - here's the tutorial for you.
Combine House, Tree, Sawtooth Star, 54-40 or Fight, and Rising Star blocks with improvisational piecing to make your own Star Rise in the Global Village quilt. Pattern includes cutting and sewing directions for two types of houses, three types of tree, and five types of stars, along with placement diagrams for four quilt sizes: Large (83" x 95"), lap quilt (50" x 60"), wallhanging (30" x 36") and pillow (15" square). The original used 14 fat quarters (FQ) Bali batiks, 16 FQ Japanese prints, 14 FQ African prints, 10 FQ Indian block prints, and 5 FQ American prints to illustrate the idea of a global village. Information on sourcing world fabrics is included, or use your favorite fabrics. This is fun! Make it yourself, or make it as a group! Makes a great fund-raiser!

Think about you, quilting. Pair that image with your wildest, most wouldn’t-it-be-amazing dream. What does your marvel of a quilting experience look like? For astronaut Karen Nyberg, her quilting adventure was a literal out-of-this world event: making a quilt block in orbit, on the International Space Station. Wow! Inspiration doesn’t come on a scale much …
This is Missy’s Prismatic Star quilt which is a paper pieced pattern by Judy Niemeyer of Quiltworx. Missy owns Up North Quilt Shop in International Falls, MN and this quilt was a class she held at her shop a few months ago. This is the first time I have quilted for Missy so I asked her if she liked feather quilting and she said they are not her favorite. I’m so glad I asked as I would have put feathers all over this quilt! So my next idea was to have lines radiating out of the star with some fillers. I first doodled about 8 different fills but it was getting too busy so I simplified it with only two designs and very happy I went with this route. The fabric used is Timeless Treasures Gypsy Tonga Strips and the batting is Hobbs Heirloom 80/20. I used a light blue So Fine thread for most of the quilt top, and switched to a light plum for the purple diamonds. I quilted CC’s in the diamonds, stitched in the ditch around the large diamonds and did free hand swirls and U turns in the background. I used my QP Fat Edge ruler for the diagonal lines.
This is the ENGLISH VERSION of the pattern. The pattern includes specifications for two different quilt sizes. The quilt background can. be constructed in two different ways (single fabric or multicolor background). The pattern also contains detailed instructions for the construction of the stars and the construction of the complete quilt top. Coloring sheets for both quilt sizes and background options help you with the planning step. The pattern is great for using up fabric scraps - even very small ones! Of course you can also use yardage. difficulty level: confident beginner and of course advanced quilters. It´s the perfect project to make a big dent in your piles of scraps! The instructions do not include basting, quilting and binding steps. After purchase you receive a link for the digital download of the pattern via email.
