Mom and Maureen Stars<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mom has been busy making more stars. She is trying different patterns, which means I never know what to expect from her! On another note, I told her to start showing some of her 19 (!!!) works in progress on her blog. I can’t wait to see what she has started.<\/p>\n

The paper pieced block in the upper left hand corner was made by Maureen. It is really a perfect combination of colors. I know Maureen<\/a> from CQFA<\/a>. She is wonderful dyer and fabric printer. She does a lot of really good work in fabric manipulation with dyes, paints, etc and is an inspiration and teacher to others in the group in this area.<\/p>\n

\"Mrs.<\/a>
Mrs. K's handwork<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mrs. K came to a party yesterday. She lives 4-5 hours away from me and prepared these reverse appliqued blocks for the drive down the mountain. The stars are reverse applique’ and then she has tied some French knots in each inset of the stars. You can just see them in the photos. I will have to take out some of the basting and trim the backs, but that is ok. I would rather do it when I am ready to sew than have the edges unravel or fray. I know Mrs. K from an online quilt group and we have gotten together several times. She loves handwork and crazy quilting. She taught hearing impaired students for many years in public schools. I really appreciate her effort on these blocks.<\/p>\n

Mrs. K also made me a cookie. Check it out! I think I need to have a cookie baking and decorating session with Mrs. K!<\/p>\n

We now have over 50 blocks!<\/p>\n

Want to help<\/strong><\/em>? The background for this project is that one family we know from school and my husband\u2019s cousin were affected by the September 2010 San Bruno fire. We are making 3 quilts: one for our cousin and his wife, one for my son\u2019s friend and one for the parents of my son\u2019s friend.<\/p>\n

I am thrilled at how many people are making a\u00a0 block or two. Do you want to contribute some blocks?<\/p>\n

All star blocks are welcome!<\/p>\n

Block background: dark blue
\nBlock design: Yellow star (any pattern, technique, eg. embroidery, painting, silkscreen, etc)
\nBlock size: 8? finished (8.5″ unfinished) or smaller (we will work with any size)
\nRemember to sign your block!<\/p>\n

Deadline: TBA, probably around the end of March. We can\u2019t do it without you!<\/p>\n

Contact us through our blogs for mailing instructions. Thanks very much for your generosity!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
