Working on drafting a 5 pointed star for a quilt
One of the reasons why I picked up a compass & protractor set last summer is for this: I want to make a 5 pointed star for one of my quilts in the "Twilight in the Bronx". Yesterday I figured it out.

Quilted Microfiber handbag
A long time ago quilted totes were all in my thought process. I even approached a book publisher regarding a book, though I never followed through.

Ever since I subscribed to American Patchwork & Quilting
I've admired and hoped one day I'd have Laura Boehnke's job as pattern tester for American Patchwork & Quilting. As I chatted with Giovanna last night I realized I have Laura's job...just not for American Patchwork & Quilting. I get to test patterns for Benartex.
