Starry Night By Riley Blake

seasonsgreetingspatterncover 
I have always loved the star quilts and this one is fabulous, especially when you notice the layout of the large and small stars.

I love the diagonal path, adding interest and dimension to the overall look. I am envisioning this in Christmas colours or how about soft pastels? And then you could add some applique in the corners of the borders and even some sparkles for added shine. Okay I need to stop this now. Focus Heather!

RIH Donation Quilt

  RIH Quilt5057

Those very talented ladies of the RIH Auxiliary Quilters created a Whole Cloth quilt , [ queen size ] to be raffled off. There is bonus bed/table runner as well.

I should let you all know that I am sure that I have the winning ticket but we appreciate you supporting our hospital!....LOL

With 580 hours of hand stitching in the quilt it is a true heirloom. I will definitly be purchasing some tickets at $2 each. The money raised is used in different departments of the hospital for equipment.

Tickets are available at Diversity Quilt Shop, Katja's Quilt Shop and of course our shop, Heather's Fabric Shelf.

Watch for ticket sales locations and more photos on Facebook!
