A Galaxy of Stars in a Time Warp


I was not the only one in my local quilt group to finish my “Stars in a Time Warp”! My friend Betty Taylor (on the left) finished hers beautifully! Don’t you love how she put the stars out into the border? It doesn’t show well in the photo, but the sashing is a serpentine stripe. Perfect! Unfortunately, I left the meeting early the other night so I still have not seen this one in person. I will see it at our show this summer (right Betty?!!!).

My friend Karen Mitman finished this beauty, quilted by Marcia O’Donnell of Albion, Maine. I just love it!

 And, after Karen saw Betty’s at the meeting she went home and whipped up this one with the striped sashing. I’ll update you as the top progresses.

We had the first Quilt-a-thon of the year on Saturday. I was working on my log cabin Veteran’s quilt that I am doing as a sew-a-long with Bea and Cecile
Some of us worked very hard - right Kathy? - Just kidding! My friend Kathy Boudreau gets more quilting done than anyone I know!

Quilt a little, talk a little, quilt a little, talk a little, eat, eat, eat, quilt a lot talk a little more.
(I love the Music Man!)

I’ll post more on my log cabin potholder when it is time to link up. I got about half of it done so I met my “log cabin goal” for this month and I will have another veteran’s quilt done for next month! Woohoo!

  1. Beautiful star quilts. Wish I had made one. : )
    Oh, I love The Music Man, too! Many years ago my mom played the part of one of the ladies that sang that song (in a community production of that show). It was so out of character for my Mom to be in a production that the memory of her on stage singing that is burned into my mind.
    Looks like a really fun quilt-a-thon!

  2. How fun to be able to gather as a group. I haven't been able to do that in a long time.
    I do like the stars being repeated in the border. Brings everything together.

  3. I love those quilts. I need to get my warped stars backing done- I am going to send it off to be basted, then machine quilt it myself. My goal is THIS WEEK!

  10. Wendy, I think I saw that movie a dozen times. LOVE the music!!
    And your day of sewing looks like such fun! I just got my Stars in a Time Warp back from the quilter but I'd have to say that I love the way your friend set hers with the stars in the outer border! Such a great project! Glad you got your log cabin blocks done, but I don't think I saw them in your blog post... holding out???
