Nantucket stars


It was a bumpy road in the beginning but I finally started my Nantucket quilt !

I ordered a Nantucket quilt kit a couple of weeks ago & when it arrived it was missing 1- 3/4 yard piece of  background fabric . Also I did not like some of the fabrics in the kit so I had to order a few more fabrics .  Once I had all of my fabric I started making my stars Sunday.  These are big ... 15 1/2" and so easy to make . Did I tell you how much I love this Midwinter Reds fabrics !

Now onto making the 180  9 patches .

All of my fabric is cut for the 9 center stars and now I am cutting all of my background fabrics

AND.........  I have my binding on Willow Weave   all machine sewn on and ready to hand sew
My hubby &  2 daughters  had  a birthday party for me Saturday .   So much fun with all my family & friends .  My actual b-day is not till Friday the 15th so I am not 60 yet.


A group of them went in together and surprised me with a gift of riding in a Hot Air  Balloon in Napa  !  How Exciting !

Willow Weave is home

Look what arrived in my mailbox !           WILLOW WEAVE !

 I made this quilt with a jelly roll of  Dancing in the Rain fabric and the quilt was a  jelly roll sew along online with Doreen Aunt Reen's Place .

                            Mary QUILT HOLLOW quilted a paisley quilt pattern  &   I love it !
She always does  amazing quilting for me and always knows just the perfect quilting pattern to use on my quilts.
                                    The fabric backing is also from Dancing in the Rain
