My Star Chains for the Mod-mod...

S. Cyr – MI. What a beauty! Thank You for this lovely block…the Stars within the Star Chain block look very cute…I bet a whole quilt with Star themed background fabric (all kinds) would look great. Oh, It arrived Thursday 17th but it was raining so hard that the Postal Delivery Person decided not to leave it in our box until the next delivery. (Tuesday 22nd.)Please Keep smiling and Have a wonderful week!

Gosh, another wonderful day! Five more beauties were waiting for me in my mail box. Caroline C.- ND, Nann H.-IL., , Laura R.-GA., Margaret R.- Australia and Kathleen T.-OR. Thank you Ladies Your blocks are absolutely wonderful and appreciated! My brain is swimming and I am watching YouTube trying to figure out how to actually quilt. I am pretty sure I will hand Quilt these…A long time ago…the early 80’s an ancient neighbour...

Hi, I have finally finished the beads, I used Dena’s WIP video for the circles (tin foil method) and found it speedy and gave an excellent result. The bead blocks use a lot of techniques and are good learning tools. Now it is on to the Chained Stars. Wishing you have a Joyous...

Well, I have been thinking about where I will take the colour for the Month- January Chevrons… and I decided to go with off white TOT and Greens. I am working on my Beads- on a- String today. The invisible thread is! I am trying Dena’s video tip WIP with aluminum foil and it is totally easy and fast and giving me the best results yet! (I tried using a CD for the template (just an experiment)…I know it is the wrong size but ,...

I am so Happy! I just won the  Block Lotto and March’s block was a real learning experience for me! Oh Wow! Next month I will be receiving 13 beautiful  quilt blocks called ‘Chained Star’. I am keeping my own blocks for a total of 17 Blocks …and I made 2 blocks extra to keep because I liked them that much! …almost a full quilt YAY! I am grateful for Jean Sophie Wood… for all her creativity and  hard work in...

Four Chained Star Blocks for the draw, I tried 3 different techniques with the Qst’ and found the one Sophie described in her instructions worked best for me.  I got into trouble cutting the 3 1/2 inchs down…lopping off corners unequally…I put that down to inexperience I do however, think that if I decided to do a large project using Qst’ I would definitely get the June Taylor ruler. I found this block a challenge and...

  I’d love some input here from those with experience-  do you feel the cream TOT as background will make this too bright and in your face?  Do you think a darker background would work better ie. a cardboardy tone beige? My Fabrics are pretty bright. I want to start sewing and I really need to get cutting but, I am not experienced and I am hesitating here…sometimes that is a red flag for me so I thought I’d put it out...

Six- Beads on a String with 4 examples of  “Maroon” fabrics chosen by 4 different clerks for me as it seems  I am “Maroon” challenged.  On a happy note though I have Yellow and Orange firmly nailed!...

Two for the draw and a chance to win! These are really fun to make and I had no problems with them.      ...
