Star Bright

Once a month Heather and I spend the day with our quilting friends at church. We drag our sewing machines and irons and fabric into the cultural hall. We set up folding tables, plug in extension cords and start sewing. Sometimes we work together on a single project, like a wedding quilt to give to a new bride and groom. We have made lap quilts for wounded soldiers and tiny receiving blankets for babies born too soon. Sometimes we learn a new skill together, and sometimes we bring our own projects. There’s always a bit of show and tell involved as well. While we quilt, Heather fills her notebooks with stories and watches DVDs that she has carefully selected to share with the quilters. This month she’s bringing Hitch, Made of Honor and Corpse Bride. Today’s block is called Star Bright. I think the name suits it, don't you?
