Oh, My Stars, Marthie! That's Good Pie!

Oh, My Stars! (& Garters) 24" x 24" Topper, 
featuring Give Thanks fabric by Sandy Gervais for Riley Blake Designs

Finished quilting this sweet little topper, just in time for Thanksgiving!  

I was recently reading a story about my great-grandparents.  Grandma Martha was an excellent cook, and Grandpa Henry was quoted as saying, "My stars, Marthie!  That's good pie!"  I don't often make pies, and this year's pie was a frozen Marie Callender's that you bake at home, but it tasted good too! 

Oh, My Stars! (& Garters) Quilt Class

 Lake Powell Quilt Retreat 2021!  

Taught a fun group of delightful quilting Hooligans one of my favorite quick quilt blocks!  

"Oh, My Stars! (& Garters) pattern uses a couple of simple-to-make "Insta-Block" techniques where we make four "no-waste" flying geese and eight half-square-triangles at the same time (like magic!), then add a few squares and rectangles and, oh my stars, success!  Just look at the smiles!

I love that the center allows for some fun embellishments - fussy cut fabrics, embroidery, applique' or a combo of techniques to add pizzazz to the quilt!  

And now, for your entertainment, here's a little Oh, My Stars! showcase of projects and previous classes:  VIDEO
