We've done it again!  Another great answer to what's new, "Oh My Stars!" by Marci Baker.  These six-pointed stars are Strip-Pieced - REALLY!  Marci's method makes it possible for you to be successful with this classic design by skipping the inset or "Y" seam.  Plus this innovative technique results in fewer pieces to cut and more time to sew.  Each of the 14 projects is designed for frustration-free sewing with color-coded layouts, actual size shapes for comparison, trouble-shooting for seams, and pressing directions for easy matching of all the star points.  The many helpful tips for the new quilter to the quilt designers add even more value to this 128 full color page book.

Beginning with "Not Your Grandmother's Log Cabin", we introduced "The Clearview of Quilting - frustration-free quilting methods, the simplest quilting solutions, and guaranteed success."  Incorporating feedback from our certified teachers and quilters like you, we have illustrated instructions, more details in yardage requirements, and full color photos with a variety of colorways and layouts.  You will have an even easier, faster, more successful sewing experience with "Oh My Stars!".  With something for everyone, you can create a throw in 5 hours or stitch a masterpiece at your leisure.

Our latest book, “Not Your Grandmother’s Log Cabin” by Sara Nephew with Marci Baker, includes a great set of designs and we want you to know about them. Sara may have retired from the labor intensive parts of being a self-published author, but she is by no means retired from designing. Her eye for color, value, and design comes through in these 34 beautiful creations. Everything from quilts with one block overall to more intricate patterns with up to 7 different blocks provides something for everyone.
