Have You Joined Our Party?

Patchwork Party 2007-Fall Edition has begun and we couldn't be more exited about it. We've been working hard behind the scenes to get everything ready for this special and popular program. This season's edition features beautiful blocks designed by Marti Michell using Marcus Brothers’ Home for the Holidays fabric collection by Faye Burgos.

It works quite simply. Each "party-goer" collects one of the twelve blocks from each of the online merchants participating in this year's program to get that shop's exclusive quilt block kit. Our exclusive block is “Hearts in the Stars.” Isn’t it beautiful?


Hearts in the Stars

In addition to our own exclusive quilt block kit, we’ve created a way for you to turn all twelve of your collected blocks into a stunning quilt titled “Star of Destiny.” Our finishing kit includes the pattern and all the fabric you need to add to the blocks to create a quilt top big enough to fit a queen-sized bed (85” square). You might note that the fabric is the Marcus Brothers’ Home for the Holidays collection designed by Faye Burgos. Faye’s fabric designs are totally drop dead gorgeous. She’s the one who created that beautiful pansy pattern that Marcus Brothers has been offering for over ten years now.


Star of Destiny

Our "Star of Destiny" quilt was designed by Barbara Lewis. I put it together and then sent it to Linda Perry of A Stipple in Time for quilting. It is available in three different packages so you can choose the one that is best for you.

In addition to our Star of Destiny Finishing Kit, we also created a wall quilt coordinate. Originally designed by Jane Davis, our wall quilt was constructed by Marge McCanse and quilted by Linda Perry. Seasonal Celebrations features four seasonal appliqué wreath designs which you can create using either traditional or fusible web appliqué methods. For your convenience, all the fabric you need to complete the quilt top and binding are included. We also offer matching pillowcases to complete the Star of Destiny ensemble.
