Starry Nine Patch Kit

I remade my Starry Nine Patch pattern in reproduction fabrics.  A number of the fabrics are from the Hannah Wallis collection from Windham Fabrics.  I have either the pattern available or the kit.  The kit includes the pattern, fabric for the quilt top and binding.  This makes a great table mat or wall hanging.


Happy Sewing,

What I am working on

I have finally been able to work on my Granddaughters baby quilt.  She is already 6 months old and I still didn't get it finished.  Normally I try to have the quilt done by the time the baby is born, but with so many things happening, I did not get a chance to work on it.

The owl is from the book Little Quilts 4 Little Kids by Heather Mulder Peterson from Anka's Treasures.  I just love the owl!  There are 10 quilt patterns featured in this book!

I had a design in mind from the moment that I heard that I would have another Grandchild.  I knew that I would have an owl on it sitting on a tree branch.  When I saw the owl from this book, I knew I had to use it for my Granddaughters quilt.  I designed my quilt, but used that owl for my center.





I have the owl stitched down.  Now it is time to work on borders.  When I get those on, I will take a picture and let you see the end results.  I am having so much fun working on it!

Happy Sewing,
Jean
