She a asked if I made it and if I sold purses. I said I had several made for a craft showthat I would like to sell her. She said she woud like a pink one same style as the one I was carrying that day. I didn't have any pink so I just made two to show her and give a choice. Fun!!!!…See More

I just finished making this replica of an Antique String-Pieced Eight-Pointed Star. The pattern is from Circa 1890 according "Scrap Patchwork & Quilting " by Marti Michell published in 1992
. I made it by pulling material from my scrap bag. I wish my scrap bag would get smaller but it just seems to grow. Oh well…

Thank you for your comment on my Maple Leaf Wallhanging. I made 2 of them after I saw the pattern in a magazine. The first I hand quilted and the second, this one, I machine quilted. I looked at our quilts. Such suberb work. I think that I like the appliqued flower quilt the best.
