When leaving for holiday, I like to take hand-sewing projects with me, like every quilter. This time I chose for a nice rainbow star pattern I bought some time ago, the „Staggered Star“ by Kirsty Lea (Quiet Play), which originally is a foundation paper pattern.
In no time it was turned into EPP pattern and the templates were cut. Choosing the right fabric scraps took actually longer than I expected, it´s not that easy! I followed the colour scheme by Kirsty and it turned out very nice. The rainbow pieces went everywhere with me, I stitched even in the car (well, yes, only on highways). At the end of the holiday, the star was finished and ready for appliqué on a background. I planned a beige or black background but it somehow didn´t look well. Then my eye fell on a fabric with a newspaper pattern and I knew, it was the right one. I appliquéd the star by hand and quilted it on BabyLock Sashiko machine. The outcome is amazing, I love the star and the pillow. Next week, it will be handed over to my friends who are freshly married!
The pattern is really amazing, I´m planning to re-sew it again, maybe even more times.
Happy stitching!
Michaela
