Stellar: A New Star Quilt Pattern
A Star Quilt and Half Square Triangles: these are a few of my favorite things! This is Stellar. I love star quilts, and half square triangles both – so this pattern combines them in one quilt! I made mine scrappy. For the color part of the star I used some leftover charm squares, used yardageContinue reading “Stellar: A New Star Quilt Pattern”

A Montana Wedding
Congratulations to my son and new daughter-in-law! They had a charming wedding in Montana this past August.

Quilter that I am, I wanted to make themContinue reading “A Montana Wedding”
Friendship Star Christmas Wreath
My first attempt at a Christmas wallhanging! The friendship star is one of my favorite blocks, so I decided to start with that. And a scrap quilt is always a favorite! This little wallhanging measures 30″ x 30″ so it’s not too big to easily find a place to hang it this holiday season. IContinue reading “Friendship Star Christmas Wreath”
Every Which Way
Is it conceited to say I love these quilts?

The quilt would look great with so many colors and the layoutContinue reading “Every Which Way”

What fun it is to see a little boy you knew back in kindergarten grow up, get married and start a family – the circle of life and all that!Continue reading “Red, White, and Black Argyle”
My Very Own Quilt Coat
I’ve been watching on Instagram as many a quilter has shared a completed quilt coat, getting more envious by the post. I am not a garment maker – nothing I’ve ever attempted has fit. I tried to make cute little outfits when my kids were little – and they wore those attempts, because, well, IContinue reading “My Very Own Quilt Coat”
“Laughter is the hand of God…” Quilt
Some of my dearest friends recently asked me to make a wall hanging for them, using one of his Presbyterian minister stoles. Many moons ago he was our pastor, and while at our church our families became close. He has recently retired, and now primarily does interim work – so he can spare the stoleContinue reading ““Laughter is the hand of God…” Quilt”
