A Quickie!

I just LOVE the pre-cut fabric. It is so nice to have a slice of each piece of fabric from the entire line. I also LOVE the cute way they are packaged up. Moda wraps them so sweetly with their twill tape…adorable. I now have a growing pile of twill tape at my house! So, in an effort to go green and reuse everything I have been thinking about what to do with this marvelous little bonus gift that we get every time we buy a layer cake or jelly roll. Well, here’s an easy little project for you. A lanyard to hold your scissors. p2150207
I never wore scissors around my neck until I started quilting and now, I don’t know what I would do without them there! I used to lose my scissors all the time! Not so much anymore…So, here’s what you do… Continue reading “A Quickie!”

Cute and easy pin cushion

Hey Bloggers

I was searching the net for cute projects and I found these darling pin cushions. They are so cute. I have always used a magnetic pin holder but now I prefer the big cushion and I guess I will have to tell you why. When we started the shop, my hands were suddenly in the spot light and… I am a nail biter (true confessions), so my daughter had me get my nails done. Well now I can’t pick up a pin unless it is sticking out of something!

SO I love the big pin cushion.

Here is the link for the pincushions on Heather Baily’s site

The pattern is easy and makes a really nice gift.

Enjoy the Journey

Let me introduce you….

So with our new move we’ve brought on a veritable team of bloggers to convert the quilting world into blog format for your daily reading.  We’ve also opened up a community forum where we hope to connect with a broader base of quilters and get a little more interaction with others who have great ideas to share, and it’s just fun to chit chat.

So without further adieu,  I bring to you the Missouri Star Quilt Co bloggers, (we sound like a mean group don’t we 🙂 )

Natalie, Hillary, Misty, Jenny, and of course ME! 🙂

We all come from various backgrounds relating to the industry, and have noticeably different styles of writing, so let us know what you think, leave a comment or head over to the forums and chat with us.  We love to hear from you.

And check out the daily deals, the shop, and EVERYTHING else we have for you!
