Stars and Noses
Welcome back! If you’re working on Merry Merry Snow Days with me, today is a great day because we’re going to make all five of the Ohio Star blocks in this quilt. Ohio Stars We’re still on page 5 of your pattern. I’ve used the same background for ALL the Ohio Star blocks, so pull the white on white snowflake print you’ll find in the large bundle shown below. It’s the fabric right above the stripe. We’ve made the triangle squares slightly oversize. You’ll be cutting them down after you stitch and this should give you nice looking points. Let’s cut that snowflake background fabric first. Cut (1) strip 3…

Assembling My Redwork Garden
We’re assembling My Redwork Garden quilt this week and getting it ready to send to Maggie my quilter. I’m so excited to see this one come together. I took some random photos this morning that I thought you might enjoy seeing. Here’s block seven, one of my favorites. I used Bella 9900 200 off white as the background for the block and it gave all the redwork fabrics a beautiful contrast. And next to block seven you’ll find some bunnies leaping over mushrooms. I love the bunny on the right the most. She’s so cute with the little running stitch around her body. And don’t you love this block I’m…

She’s thrilled to be in the “Sutton” family and for her, that’s the best present. She fits into our…
