Handwork in the Smokies 2010

We are now accepting reservations for our fourth year of handwork seminars! This year, the beautiful feathered star will be the basis of our design, "Smoky Mountain Stars". Make one block or a dozen, this quilt truly shows off precision hand piecing! See the seminar page for details.

If you have seen the June 2010 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting, you have seen the new quilt I have designed for them, "Honeycomb Stars". You can now order the stamp set on the order form and make your own version. You MUST have the magazine to make the quilt, as no directions are currently in the stamp package. The 2 stamps used for the quilt are a mini baby block and a very large hexagon. They are NOT the same size as the regular baby block or hexagon. The large hexagon has my easy to use reference marks. I made my quilt entirely with Jo Morton fabric.

It's the newest rage in Europe and now it is here in the US! The little 2 3/4" finished spools are the cutest portable project. In the Netherlands they make them on Saturdays and blog how many they have made. I've made it easier with a 2 piece stamp set! Stamp out a bunch and put them in your purse along with your wool needle keeper and INSTANT project on the go!
