I got a couple of questions from readers who were “no reply”, so I’m answering them here.
I showed this picture of a quilt Marsha made when I was at her house for Christmas. She also made me one. Some of you wanted to know what pattern it was.
Here’s the quilt at Marsha’s.
And here’s the one she made me, hanging in our den.
The pattern can be found in this book by Art to Heart. (thanks for the info, Marsha)
Then I was also asked what the pattern is for the quilt on the design wall next to my CHAIR! ;-)
The pattern is by Bits and Pieces and it’s called “Stars around the Garden”. The center of mine is a cotton background with wool applique.
It can be finished two different ways.
This way…
or like this…
I’m going to finish mine like the bottom picture if for no other reason than to use up some of my stash on that outer border. I’ve been cutting 3 1/2 inch squares like crazy.
I’ve finished the pieced blocks and am almost at the stage of putting it all together. Now, THAT will feel good!
Another question I had was from a reader who wanted to know where I got these Santa spools.
Well, I honestly don’t remember where or even WHEN I got them. It was many years ago. They are carvings by Eddie Walker and were distributed by Midwest of Cannon Falls. I guess you might search eBay for them.
I think that’s it. If I’ve missed your question, just shoot me a quick email. If you post a comment, make sure your email address is there for me to be able to reply to you.
Hugs, Anne

Thank-you for sharing all this information! I can't wait to see your version of the Stars around the garden!
I made one of those Santa quilts for our great grand-daughter. A fun quilt to make.
Stars Around the Garden is gorgeous, Anne! What a great way to use up your stash - happy sewing!

Thank you for sharing-I do so love your blog, so keep blogging:)
I was wondering what the quilt pattern is on the bottom rung of your ladder display-it has a snowman and a house on it:) I think your post was dated 16th Dec?
I so love those fabric choices too.

Hi Anne, Love what you have done to your sewing studio. I was wondering how you made your display wall? My sewing studio is in the midst of construction. I have always wanted to make a display wall. Thanks. Linda
Oh Anne, that Stars Around the Garden is going to be awesome!!
So glad that you gave us the link ... there is a pattern that I have been trying to track down and now I know where to buy it!
Your quilt will be gorgeous!
Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving such a nice compliment. Your 'Stars Around the Garden Quilt' is coming out lovely and I love that you did the applique in wool. Also, the Santa spools are really nice too! The vintage spools are such a neat thing to decorate with.
Anne, Stars around the Garden is beautiful! Who knew you could put wool applique on a pieced back? Does Mrs. Farmhouse know about this??? :) Can't wait to see yours finished.
Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I really wanted to try the Santa quilt. Now I get to!!!
That was so nice of you to share the information. Very lovely quilts and I can't wait to see the garden quilt.
