Feathered Star, continued...

 Dit is een heel oud project! Ik vond het in een mapje, met de uitnodiging er nog bij: workshop Feathered Star door Lucy in de Sampler in Haarlem, gedateerd: februari 2008! De groene ster heb ik toentertijd helemaal afgemaakt, met het idee om er een kussentje van de maken. Tja... Wat een geluk dat I. foto's heeft gemaakt tijdens de workshop, met wat puzzelen kwam ik er zo toch uit en heb ik een tweede Feathered Star kunnen maken! Zo leuk om weer eens te quilten! Ook weer een lekker overzichtelijk projectje. 

Feathered Star Continued

The Feathered Star turned out to be quite a breeze... At first I wanted to turn the block into a cushion, but now I'm thinking of at least two cushions and maybe more.... G.

Feathered Star

Friday February 15th, M. and I did another wonderful workshop in our favourite quiltshop, Irma´s Sampler in Haarlem. We were taught how to make a Feathered Star block by our teacher Lucy. Lucy gave us permission to publish the photo´s of her wonderful quilt designs, thank you so much! Check out her great weblog, she makes so many beautiful quilts: Quilting with the past




One feathered star consists of nine blocks. We made two in the workshop (10 to 15.30), so don´t expect our blocks to be on the blog very soon. I liked this block very much (much better than the triangle tractatie), but that´s perhaps because I worked a bit neater this time (I had another not so good moment with working quick and dirty this week), and I used better fabric (t.i. more expensive fabric!). We worked so very hard, that we did not even take the time to browse the store and we went home with only one new fabric! Well, we can change that soon, because our next workshop is in March! We are very excited to do a workshop taught by the shopowner, Gré. I´ll keep you posted! G.
