I have a LOT of left over strips from the Trip Around the World quilt I made, so I made this Rail Fence. I squared up my blocks before sewing them together, which helped keep the shape of the quilt. I also used boiled corn starch on the quilt top, backing and binding before I quilted by domestic sewing machine. I will use starch on all projects from now on!

Lisa's wedding quilt

I made this quilt for my daughter Holly's friend, Lisa Miller, who got married yesterday. She was very definitive about what she didn't want--no pinks and no yellows. I found a pattern at Modern Quilts Illustrated called Stacks. I ordered the quilt kit and started work on it at a quilt retreat in May. I made a mistake in placing the pieces so I had to redo part of it. I knew the wedding was in August so I was under the gun to get it done and sent off to be quilted. Thanks to Missouri Star, I got a wonderful quilt finish and it was packed up and given at the reception yesterday.

MISSOURI CHRISTMAS STARS. . . .Stash Busting Fun

It all started with a cousin who is recuperating from surgery. I wanted to make her a get well box. When I was researching ideas on Pinterest I saw these fabric origami stars. So I printed the instructions out, which were in Russian but came with pictures. Low and behold we have the Missouri Christmas Star to give away as gifts this Christmas. I was able to make 30 Stars in 2 days. My creative juices wonder if this pattern would work as a couch throw pillow. I am going to have to experiment and find out.

Merry Go Round Quilt

A friend and I were shopping at MSQC and decided we wanted a challenge to use a fabric we would typically never use. We found the perfect orange batik! I finally got my quilt completed. I am so happy with it. Collis Country Quilting did a beautiful job on the quilting!

Zuzu's Petals Sashed Half Hexi

I found these fat quarters at the Daytona Beach Quilt Show in May 2016. The fabric sang to me. Frond's Zuzu's Petals by Stephanie Brandenburg. Oh I waited for something special to come along and there it was, from Missouri Star Quilt Company, the tutorial for the Sashed Half Hexi!! I'm going to make a tab top hanging and put it in my office right across from my desk so I can look at it every day! How perfect!

On the Road

I made this one from a jellyroll of "Road Trip" from Riley Blake Designs. The quilt is pieced in a checkerboard design with a row of applique and hand embroidered cars and trucks and even a little camping trailer!
