Today I received email from two separate quilters. I would like to share their pictures and stories with you.

They both sent pictures of quilts they had made using my patterns.

The first one is from Cecelia. She wrote

Debbie-

I just want to thank you for the Simple Stars, Beautiful Quilts booklet and the Broken Star pattern.

I'm putting the borders on my very first one -- a king size for a customer, and it has turned out great.

Also, thank you for the mystery....it looks like your Carpenters Star quilt but that would be such fun.

Here's a pictures before the borders and I will send a photo of the completed quilt once it's quilted. 

Hugs

The second one was from Joanne

Ms. Maddy,

We emailed a couple weeks ago and I told you how much I appreciated your patterns.

Below is the Texas Star quilt, queen sized, I made from your book (Southern Stars).

It is for my graphic designer/illustrator daughter who works in Manhattan and lives in Brooklyn.

Last June she and I bought some vintage fabrics at the Brooklyn General Store, with this project in mind.

Then I built out the palette locally mainly with Amy Butler prints.

With my husband out of town and a flexible work schedule, I cut & sewed this quilt in 3 ½ days.

Now it is with my wonderful machine quilter,

Paula Rostkowski, www.aquilterswork.com, and she will quilt the light green fields with feathered paisleys.

Paula is super, if you are ever asked for a reference for a machine quilter in northern Illinois/northern Chicagoland.

Thanks again for the great patterns

Joanne

Wouldn’t you love to go shopping for vintage fabrics in Brooklyn.
