Kristin,
I was just looking at the 'Christmas Quilts', and saw one titled 'Flakes in a Row', I think I messed that one up, but think you know which one I am talking about. And I clicked on it, and guess who designed it? Little ole' Kristin! I really love your designs. I just placed an order today, so I think this one will have to wait for a bit. The stars look familiar, but different somehow. You did something wacky to them, didn't you?
Hoppy quilting!
Oh Kristin, I was happy to hear from you until you said to stay out of trouble! If I can't be in trouble, what will I do? lol. I am glad you are back from hiding out. Yes, I love your designs, and Darlene's too. Maybe we are related. You could be my cousin! My brain has been thinking about the Southern Stars quilt, I want it to be king size, and I have been thinking about how to make it bigger. There just may be a designer in me!
Hoppy quilting!
Kristin,
I just saw your 'One fish, two fish' quilt. Why is it that I love all your designs? I was thinking, you can just put all of your designs in my basket and then send them to me. Then I will be happy with my purchase, and surprised too! When are you going to design a froggie quilt? I need that. Keep up the great designing!
Happy quilting!
Kristin,
How much vacation do you get every year? I think I am working at the wrong place. I don't even get to play with fabric at work. Now I am seriously depressed. I have to go place a $50.00 order at CT and get free shipping....
Happy quilting!
Hey Kristin, I just received an e mail from CT, and there you were, talking about the 'I Believe' book. That book looks like you could have written it. It just looks like your kind of projects. So, now I have to buy the book, and the Twilight fabric. Do you get a commission there? You should, because I bet I have bought $200.00 of stuff from CT just because of you. You are my latest enabler. That's OK, because I love it. It's fun.
Happy quilting!
Thanks for answering my question on the new kit Kristin.
I know you are a busy lady & wasn't worried about not hearing from you..lol.
I am moving my sewing room to down stairs where I am mostly, in hopes I will get more done.
so hope to start on the kit in a month.
Thanks again happy quilting

I have completed this quilt! Love how it turned out. Now to get it quilted, that may take a little longer for me.
I just realized that Darlene is your Mom. I've signed up for her sew-along too!
You learned from the best! Enjoyed sewing along on the Southern Stars, and now I'm looking forward to your Mom's group. Thanks so much for the daily inspiration!
Thanks, Kristin. Did you notice the fabric I am using is the CT Irrestible Indigo 2 and 3? I love those fabrics. These blocks have been difficult for me, this has stretched my abilities more than any quilt I have ever done. Thanks to you! I don't think I would have attempted it on my own, but with the group and all the encouragement, I just jumped right in! What project will you have us do next?
I think you are right, I will take the quilt to a local expert to see what they say. I would hate to ruin it, I would rather leave it as a quilt top only than mess it up. Plus, like you said, the time it would take to hand quilt, and the wear on my poor hands would be no fun at all. I will check into a local expert and let you know what they say.
Happy quilting!

Kristin,
I have posted a picture of a quilt top on my page. My wonderful sis-in-law gave it to me the other day, she said their great-grandmother made it. We figured it must be at least sixty years old. My question is- how do I quilt it? I don't do much hand quilting, but I think that would be the best. Do you know where and how I should start? I don't want to mess up this family treasure!
Happy quilting!
Linda
Hi Kristin, thank you so much for your compliment on my Southern Stars quilt. Yes it was me that started the conversation about doing my southern stars quilt in Civil War Prints. I love them!! I went today to a little shop in Lebanon, TN and bought quite a few 1/2 yard prints in Civil War, to do a Bonnie Blue Pattern. I think they make up such beautiful quilts. I have learned a lot being in the SS group and seeing all of the fabric styles different ones are making their quilts out of. I love them all. This has been so much fun!! I can't wait to see yours. Blessings to you.............Linda
Thank you Kristin for your prompt answer about the "Emilie's Garden" quilt pattern. We will consider some of the ones that are still available and also watch for the Garden to return perhaps at some future time.
Donna
When looking at a fall, 2007 Connecting Threads catalog, I saw a kit for a quilt called Emilie's Garden. My granddaughter, Emily and I wonder if that pattern is available. We think it would be great for her room.

I get messages in my email inbox that someone from the Southern Star group has left a comment but I can't seem to find them. Where are they on my page and how do I find them? Please send the answer to my email inbox.
Hi Kristin
I haven't had any emails in the last couple of days. Not sure what happened. I see postings, but I haven't received any emails that there was new comments???

I would like to thank Kristin and the others who started and maintain this site. I made a mistake on the Hoppin' Hares table runner. If Kristin hadn't beeen available and willing to help me out, it would be in a pile of UFOs and probably never see the light of day again. But with her kind help, I learned something about myself and my quilting, and I am finishing the table runner BEFORE Easter. Thanks!!
thanks Kristin for your reply The only way I got the photo's on before was thrrough e-mail . I have some purses in my ppersonal kodak spot but I don't know how it get them to come up so I can transfer them to another place besides e-mail. I didn't try to post my quilt because I didn't want the criticism
from others that I'm ahead of the group. The main reason for completeing it is I'm probaly going to have surgery on my eye. Lost the site in the left eye 3 years ago and then I find out I have a maligant tumor in my right so they will do radition . It entails surgery to emplant a plack for 5 days and then surgery again to remove the plack. So wanted to get my quilt done. I can only sew now with a magifier not good but it kinda works. Yes Istarted my quilt before the material list was posted and didn't know how to mix up the co;ors so went the safe way . Since they are that way the border didn't look righr so I ordered the med. star green for the border and the dark green for binding and it doesn't look right either but have the border on and the expense of extra material so am just going to leave it that way hopfuly when I add binding it will bring it together. I wanted some of the material in my blocks to also be in the border.
Anyway still don't know how to get the photo to the right spot. Thanks again JESS
Kristen I do not see where you have directions for uploading photo's
I went to the top of the main page and could not find what you were talking about JESS
Hi Kristen, Thanks. I know what you mean about the computer. Once you're on it....time flies by! I am really enjoying this site & the quilt along. It has inspired me to make a little time (sometimes alot) each day to quilt. I have soooo many UFO's it's ridiculous. My dream is to learn to design and teach quilting. Any tips on getting started? Have a wonderful day, and thanks again. Marie
Hi Kristen, I posted my blocks under "blocks 1 &2" and "blocks 3 & 4"...but can't figure out how to get them in the slideshow. Can you help me? Thanks,Marie
