Cathedral Stars

This is the latest of the quilts I have made from Bonnie Hunter's free patterns.  However, I did use a different technique for the star points which was from a pattern called Rising Stars, a Strip Club pattern from Cozy Quilt Designs.  My granddaughter helped pick out the border fabric.


My New Bag

Over a year ago, my sister who lives in Hickory, North Carolina, asked me to start saving the selvage edges of my fabrics for her.  When I was cutting (or tearing) them off, I included about 1/2" of the fabric design. She came to visit for the 4th of July weekend and I just have to share what she brought me made from some of those selvages.  A large tote bag, measuring 20 x 12 x 5 !!  I love it!!  Thank you, Jane!



She also made me a cosmetic bag and a couple of hotpads.  But I was most excited about this.
