I completed this Starlight, Starbright quilt based on a Missouri Star Quilt Company pattern. I altered it a bit with a border around the star. This one I made as a traditional quilt top and sent it out to be longarm quilted. It turned out great! I love the look. It was made using charm packs (5″ squares) plus some yardage for the star and borders. I’m excited to share this one now as we have a tour group leaving next month to go visit the Missouri Star Quilt Company in Hamilton MO. We will be making several stops along the way there and back to visit fabric and quilt related businesses. We’ll be gone for 9 days and I know we will see and acquire lots of great quilt related items. Stay tuned to see more about our adventure. And in the meantime watch in the next few days our Quilt Sale.

Always on the lookout for a simple design that will work for a beginning sewing and/or quilting class I recently saw a quilt similar to this and thought it would be a good one to work up for a class. I like the simplicity and modern look of it. Watch for a beginning quilt class soon.

I’ve missed several days of posting here as I was out of town for our sixth Stitch & Bitch Retreat out at Shenandoah River State Park. We always have such a great time. We sew, crochet, knit, eat, drink, share ideas and play games. The games are a highlight. We play “Strip” Poker using jelly roll strips and the winner gets a ton of them and has to make something and then share. Sometimes it’s scary to win. LOL! We played Left, Right, Center and the winner got to choose from a ton of great sewing/quilting prizes. And you can tell by the photos that there was a lot of joking and laughing going on.

There is just something about the Wonky Windmill pattern that I love. And as usual I pulled a bunch of different fabrics from the scrap box. (I have got to get rid of some of this scrap fabric!) I am happy with the way it turned out and it was really fun to make.

We have a couple of spots left for our Gingham and Hearts Quilt Workshop coming up on February 11th from 9 am – 6 pm. Learn to make a Gingham design block for a beautiful patterned quilt with Heart motif….just in time for Valentine’s Day! The great thing about this pattern is that you can apply it to many other designs. Come make this one and get some other great design ideas. And we will be applying the Quilt As You Go method…a fun way to make a quilt on a domestic machine. You have the option of registering for the class only and you will get a supply list where you can purchase your fabrics and info on what to do prepare for class. Or you can register for the class and kit and everything you need for the quilt will be provided….cut and ready to sew. Click here to register.
