Have you seen this quilt?

It's featured in McCall's Quilting (May 2009 edition).

Mark Lipinski, on the right (ok, yes, that is a cut-out of him!) designed this great Lone Star with his Krakow fabric line by Northcott. In the magazine, it is called "Prairie Star", but make no mistake, it is definitely the Quiltsmart 58" Lone Star. My friend, Mark, is a fan of Quiltsmart, and I am a fan of Mark and his magazine, Mark Lipinski's Quilter's Home (sister magazine to McCall's Quilting). Thanks, Mark and McCall's! Quilt sewn by Lissa Ross, and quilted by Janice Jamison - beautiful!

Mattie Rhoades, President of Quiltsmart, Inc.and Mark Lipinski, editor-in-chief of Mark Lipinski's Quilter's Home with 'Prairie Star', a Quiltsmart 58" Lone Star! The Quiltsmart 58" Lone Star Classic Pack is shown here, to the left. 'Top Speed' (tm) is about 6 - 8 hours!

Wow...yes, you can make it!

Quiltsmart Lone Stars are fun...and there are several others to choose from...

Bitty Broken Star (left)- 19 inch center star, the whole quilt is about 54" and sweet as can be!

38" Lone Star (middle)- Easy, easy and fast, fast...can't beat that - just 4 - 5 hours for the 'Top Speed' (tm).

58" Lone Star (above...the one featured in the magazine) - 6 - 8 'Top Speed' (tm) hours....you've gotta do it! Add borders and it becomes a queen!

Broken Lone Star (right)- fit for a Queen! The equivalent of 4 of our 38" stars, this beauty is what I have on my bed!

Kitchen Towel Fun...

Use kitchen towels to make our cell phone bags and smart bags! You can find so many fun prints. Just look at the cute pleat on the smart bag - it was from a pleated towel!.

Tips from Mary J (our in-house quilter):

1) You might need to open up the hems on some towels for the smart bag.

2) For the cell bag, cut in half and sew lengths together.

3) You might need to cut and piece a bit if trying to use a particular section of the towel.
