Shannon, Becky and Paula came back to The Studio yesterday, on their Holiday off, to complete their Big Star Quilts. And look how terrific they turned out. And Paula, being the overachiever that she is, decided to make two borders around hers so that is why she has a little more to go but I know she will knock that out at home without any problem. Girls, you all did a great job. I’m so proud of you and you should be super proud too!

I know people find it hard to believe but these 6 quilters made these amazing Big Star quilts in just 2 days. We started them yesterday evenng at 5pm. We sewed until 9 last night and then came back at 10 am and sewed until 6:30 tonight. I never get tired of seeing the different color/fabric combinations. Each one unique…each one beautiful! Nice work ladies. I knew you could do it!!!

It is quite an accomplishment to make a quilt. But to make a quilt in a day and a half….well that is something else altogether! And that is just what these 6 quilters did this weekend. We started on Friday evening and finished yesterday around 6:30. Aren’t they just amazing!!!! We used the Quilt As You Go method so these quilts are all done. Everyone did a great job with their color and fabric choices. I wish you could see them in person as they are so much prettier than in the photos. Nice work Debbie, Julie, Pat, Terry, Troy and Sherry. You ROCK!!!!!! We have another class coming up next weekend. Can’t wait to see what they do. And if you have ever wanted to learn to sew we have a class this Thursday on making a Table Runner that is beginner friendly….plus it only takes about an hour. Why not come learn to sew so there may be a quilt in your future. Click here to register for the Table Runner Class or to learn more.

I saw a similar quilt to this while at the quilt show in Hampton last spring and knew I wanted to give it a try. The one there had strips of fabric for the stripes but I love a scrappy quilt so I made mine using small blocks in a variety of red and white fabrics. Theirs had Friendship stars but I love using a variety of Sawtooth Stars so I mixed mine up. I made it as a Quilt as You Go so the entire quilt was made on my Babylock Unity. I’m happy with how it turned out. I call it “Yankee Doodle”.

We finished up our Block of the Month Sampler Quilts yesterday….well almost! These ladies sewed for over 5 hours putting on borders and bindings. They are almost done but I couldn’t wait to show you how amazing their quilts look. Don’t you love them? I love that they all have the same blocks but they look so different based on everyone’s fabric selections and placement. Gorgeous! Great job Barbara, Debbie, Wilma and Debbie! If you would like to learn to quilt and especially the Quilt as You Go method be sure to register for the new Sampler Quilt Block of the Month sessions starting in October. Here is the link with more information.

Just complete this “Row” Quilt which will inspire our next Block of the Month session. If you have wanted to learn to quilt, Quilt As You Go is the way to go! It is a method of quilting that allows you to quilt entirely on a domestic sewing machine….no need to load your quilt onto a frame and hand quilt….or send it out to a long-arm quilter to finish for you. You can do it all right on your home sewing machine. How much fun is that???!!!!! Tons of fun…trust me. Watch for our Row Quilt class beginning soon. And if you missed out on getting in on the Quilt As You Go Sampler Quilt class we have another beginning in October. Check it out here. Join us and learn this method of quilting.
