My older
granddaughter is getting ready to start the school year and requested a puppy
sew on to her bookbag. When I was
searching through my appliqué designs for a cute puppy, I came across a McCalls
pattern for a cute puppy cell phone case.
I adapted it and made this zippered pouch. I hope she will enjoy attaching it to her bookbag. She may still want a puppy appliqued.

Friends in my
church quilting group are planning to each make a simple Lone Star quilt. A couple of months ago when the Pizza Girls
from Quilters Gallery did a show for Greater Columbia Quilters ( http://gcquilters.blogspot.com/2013/03/quilters-gallery-show-and-tell.html
), I purchased the “fussy cutter ruler set” that includes a giant diamond
template for a very large Lemoyne star which I believe finishes at 24”. The Lemoyne star is similar in piecing to a simplified
Lone Star using the y seam technique. I was looking for something to play with
yesterday and pulled out the template.
I have had a stack of bandana seconds for several years and decided I
would use them for a stack n’ whack star.
If you have never made a stack n’ whack quilt, you first have to do the
stacking and tedious pinning to match the number of layers needed. I needed 8 to use my giant diamond
template.
I managed to cut one stacked set for the largest diamond and
then cut as many smaller other ones as I could fit.
I will show more after I sew some together.
