Winter Stars



My friend Frances @offkilterquilt has released an original free holiday story for the last seven years. The latest story is very beautiful and is called Winter Stars. 

Frances is a wonderful writer and has published stories and books about quilters set in a fictional town called Milton Falls. On her QuiltFiction site, she releases an audio story each week.

For the last several years, I've written a block with a bonus quilt runner or wall hanging pattern to support the story. (See prior years: Dorothy's Christmas  Star and December Star.) 

The Winter Stars table runner finishes at 17.5" x 30". The star is constructed using HST - an easy way to construct a Lemoyne star. I love this color palette for January!


You can find the story and the block pattern for this block - written by me! - at QuiltFiction.  Make sure you check out Story Guild for access to more quilting fiction.  


Have a wonderful day! Patty

  2. Nicely done, Patty! I like the colors you chose. You should be able to leave this table runner out for a couple months.
