Stars and Angels came about from a Kim Diehl pattern I found in an April 2001 American Patchwork & Quilting magazine, called Homespun Hollow. I wasn't ready to make such a large quilt at the time, so I just make the section with the stars and angels. I added some hearts, which were really leaves in the original pattern. If you look closely you can see that I hand quilted stars around the border, swirls around the angels and outlined pretty much everything else.
Pieced in 2004 and hand quilting in 2005. This was my second quilt. Check out the angel with the blue dress, her head is half way down her arm! I'm not sure how that happened, but it does add to the folk art look of the quilt.

Very cute and folk arty.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt, Karen! It is lovely, and has such a warm, folk look to it. It's hard to believe it was only your second quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful. I just love Kim Diehl's patterns. I'm going to check my magazine archive and see if I've got that one.
ReplyDeleteLovely. Second quilt. Wow. I love the white print you had for the dress.
ReplyDeleteI think this quilt is fantastic. It is so warm and homey.
ReplyDeleteThat angel is 'cute as a bugs ear'. That means it is super cute. I wonder if a bugs ear is really cute. ha.
ReplyDeleteI really love your quilts! Thanks for the visit!

Lovely work. May you be blessed on our special thanksgiving day.
ReplyDeleteNow this is just w-a-y too cute!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh I have to share this with you. I was taking in your work - the feast for the eyes it is - and really sort of mesmerized. Enjoying. Anyway, I was into it and then I started reading your post. Well, everything was fine until you pointed out the location of the angels head. Coffee and the keyboard. It wasn't dramatic or anything but, well, there you have it. Life at Leehaven enjoy the Journey of a Quilter!!!
ReplyDeleteI really love your quilt and I love how you quilted it.
