Evening Star, 2019

I kept the centers of these stars open to have a lighter feel to the blocks. We don't see many stars in the city, something I miss from growing up on the farm.
Your quilts are lovely. It's true, it is hard to see the stars when there are so many lights . . . you need to go out to a farmers field and spread a blanket one night this summer and star gaze.
Quilting in Chicago. Klein meisje is Dutch for little girl--what my beloved grandfather called his 12 granddaughters because, I fear, it was easier than trying to remember our names.

I love those friendship stars--hugs, Julierose
Beautiful quilts and I love your use of solids. You've inspired me.
These are both so beautiful! Love the bright colorful fabrics that you used. Both are so happy.
Love the Evening Star quilt esp. Wonderful looking!:)
Two beautiful quilts - we can see the stars but not as clearly as those who live further out of the city.
