Linda brought her flannel quilt to show us. In the original pattern there was supposed to be lots of pieced strips (from Jellyrolls) where the striped fabric is - what a timesaver her choice was. The squares are machine appliqued.

We've had a lot of sign ups for the National Quilt Day workshop March 19, but there's still room for a few more. Visit our website www.prairiestarquilts.com for details.

This is Starway to Heaven our Stashbuster quilt for this year's National Quilt Day March 19. We've been doing this for several years now. It's a free class you just have to purchase three yards of background fabric. The rest comes from your stash! You'll need to reserve your spot if you want to come to the class.

Speaking of "stash" - I've been cleaning my sewing room. It looks so good now I'm going to call it my studio instead. I also do not have a stash anymore - it's now my "fabric collection". When you collect fabric you can just enjoy it. You don't neccessarily have to do anything with it. Ever notice how just admiring your collection can make you feel good?

Karen has completed a new sample using Tonga Batik Treats-Strips & Squares. It is called Intersections. We have a great selection of Batiks on hand right now. Their bright colors can add zip to your Winter.

Bear with me as I try to learn new things. I made a small slide show about our laminate fabrics. We're getting quite a collection.Laminated cottons are similar to oilcloth but much lighter weight and more drapable. Last year when we got our first pieces we made lots of cosmetic bags and Karen even made a raincoat. Now, With more to choose from, we're designing an apron and have Amy Butler's patterns for hooded raincoats. I plan to try a raincoat for myself this Spring. They'd also be great for tote bags and diaper bags.
