Stitching Star Storm




I've been stitching in the ditch throughout Star Storm. I'm just a little bit over half way done. I don't do too much at once. I end up getting sloppy. I do like the effect so far. The quilt lies nice and flat. I'm looking forward to filling in between the lines with my quilting! As tedious as this is, I think it's the best way for me to go forward to quilt this on the longarm. My quilting is not perfect but I do think I'm improving the more I quilt. I'm also hoping that the quilting will look better after washing the quilt! Hopefully, my wanderings from the seam line will not be as noticeable!



I just received this in the mail. They have a very cute pouch that uses orphan pieced blocks. I love using up old blocks! I think we all have them. There are some great quilts in there too. This is one of my favorite quilt magazines. There aren't too many left, unfortunately.

  1. Trying to stitch in the ditch on the LA is tough. Have you seen the barn coat using an orphan block, or even cutter quilts?

    1. I'm hoping I can improve my stitching in the ditch. Is there a pattern somewhere for the barn coat? Sounds interesting!

  2. The star is just so gorgeous! And I love quilting magazines but there are fewer and I find a shift to more modern style is taking place also. Maybe that's just around here.

    1. Thank you, Jocelyn! I think you're right. There are less magazines and modern seems to be quite popular right now. I like a little bit of everything, not just one style.
