I had some old flour or sugar sacks so I split them open on the seam and appliqued the star down. After finishing the first one I realized I appliqued it on my square WRONG!! It should be on like a pieced 8 pointed star. I'm not un-appliqueing it but decided to keep this one for myself and put the other one on "right" for Libby. Can you see the differenece?

I too have made several of the quilts in the Little Quilts book. Would love to have your extra patriotic one that you made. I have read and reread the book too. I also have the Childhood Treasures book - great eye candy in there! Thanks a bunch! HUGS... and stitches
Please send me your mailing address and I'll get it posted asap.
Ruth from Country Log Cabin Quilter was in Central Oregon and she and her SIL came for a visit to my house. She took a few photos if you'd like to jump over to her blog and check it out.
We had a quick tour of my quilts then we enjoyed lunch out. We like a lot of the same style quilts and have corresponded for some time. It was really fun getting to meet her IRL!!
Saturday I volunteered again for the Oregon Quilt Project.
It was another fantastic day!! More on that later.
P.S. Linda in NC, I'd love to see your quilt tops of Cheddar Cheese & Crackers and Strawberry Fields. Feel free to send me a photo via email. (That goes for anyone that may have missed out on adding their link)
P.S.S. Sue B. There is a pattern for the flag quilt but I don't know who the maker is- sorry!

And the Winners Are
My hubby drew two names this morning from everyone who posted their Strawberry Fields quilt top.
Karen Diane from Living Life at Lee Haven and Jantine from Urban Style are the winners of the fabric drawing.
Please send me your mailing addresses and I'll get the package posted asap.
Thank you all so much for doing the quiltalong. Sisters quilt show is in a couple of weeks and I'm going to be keeping my eyes open for another antique quilt to reproduce as a doll quilt.

A Wee Bit of Sewing Going On
My bird pinkeeper/scissor holder doesn't look quite as good as Renee Plains does in her book, but it's growing on me. It is filled mostly with walnut litter so it's pretty heavy. Would work for a paperweight too!! It's another gift so I am hoping the recipient will like it.
