Looking for a lonestar pattern. A simple one I hope.
Refuse to pay $1,000.00 forone.

Is that enough to get you started??

By the way, you do realize that if you don't give us a first name, you're gonna get a nickname from one of us, don't you?? heehee

May I guess?? Philomena? Patricia? Penelope? Priscilla? I could go on, but I won't - I'm just teasing, hon - honest!!

Lone Star is also known as Star of Bethlehem. Here are directions from the Simply Quilts website.

Hope this helps.

BTW, Gerda, I was trying to find out if her first name was Penny? I think it would be so cool to say we have an actress among our members!

Me too, Meg!! We'll have to be patient, though, you know what curiosity did to the cat!!

Gerda

meg, i was thinking the same thing!!!!
and gerda is right, if you don't give us a first name, someome will make one up for you!!

I just found this site - it has a colouring page for the star part!

Wow, Gerda, the paint it online part of that link was really fun. Thanks.

Nice to meet you, Pam.

Hi, Pam,

Here is a Fig Tree Quilt pattern for a Star of Bethlehem which, since it is a Christmas pattern, it is on sale:

I have a pattern for a Lone Star quilt for which I just bought the fabric that I found in a book at the local library. I just brought it back the other day. Hmmm ... can't remember the name and publisher and I photocopied (shhh, dont tell) just the part that I needed. It is strip pieced, sewn, cut into the large diamonds and sewn into the star with solid bands on the border. Photo of pattern here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/22943809@N02/sets/72157603802511376/ I have found the library to be a great resource.

[Edit: Found it! The book was called: "Quick Method Quilts by Leisure Arts Books. Here is a link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0942237544/ref=sib_dp_p...-6756712#reader-link
This is a very good book, IMHO.]

I am really looking forward to starting this project. I have never made this pattern before. Just need to finish up my current one and make a baby quilt (never takes long) and then I am set to go on it.

<3 Pat
