Have a favorite jelly roll strip set you purchased at one time and don't know what project to use it with? This lone star pattern uses 2.5 inch strips! With the pattern you can make a traditional lone star (aka Texas star, Bethlehem star), just add borders to the center section for a larger bed quilt.Or make a modern version as shown here. Cut off the points on two sides and position off center! Pattern is available in store ($10.50)The center star takes one strip set (40-42 pieces), not a junior set (20 pieces) or TWO packages of Bali Poppies (each pkg has 20 strips).This sample was made with Hoffman blue strip set.
Future open sewing sessions will be held at the Carlisle Inn Conference Center, located on our campus.
Limited to 20 participants. Each individual will have two 6-foot tables.
Time is from 10 am-4 pm. Come all day or for part of the day.
