Friendship Star Mini

Recognize this?!

It is a miniature version of the block for this month. (If you weren't there, I showed to the guild on Tuesday night.)

I've entered it in the weekly Quilting Gallery contest. Each week they host a contest with a different theme. This week the theme is wall hangings.



I'm not sure what the definition of a wall hanging is....but this baby is too big to be a mini and too small to be a throw. It measures 23" x 23" and hangs on my living room wall. I love the way the scrappy background adds dimension to the stars and the quilting adds some twisting and turning that I hadn't noticed in the pre-quilted top.

Voting goes through the weekend. Please stop by and vote for my baby.

 

 

And the winner is.....

Brenda Stewart

Congratulations Brenda.

She won 17 complete blocks, 8 kits, and about a yard of uncut fabric.




If you have a Chocolate Bunny block, either completed or still in kit form, please forward it to Brenda.

She is in the book.

 

"How cool is that?!"

Remember good ole "Brain Dead"?

I painted him in an up-coming fabric line by Moda.  This is what he looks like in American Jane's "ABC 123".  To be released later this summer.

Moda describes the line this way....

The circle of life has many new beginnings starting with a new calendar year. Spring brings new life. Fall brings a new level in school.
And so with Julie Andrews, we go back to the very beginning and begin with ABC. What looks old is new again with these vintage prints and fresh colors. Simple shapes, squares, rectangles and triangles are as easy as 123. Have fun making a new start on a new day.

I submitted the idea to Moda Bakeshop....and they like it!  This Quilty Friend baby is going to be a featured make on their blog.

How cool is that?!
