I’m excited to find out that my miniature quilt, “Rainy Day Star,” was chosen to be a part of the AQS Quilt Show and Contest in Paducah, Kentucky, April 21-24, 2010. The miniatures are always one of the most popular exhibits at the show and I’m glad so many quilters will be able to see this lovely little quilt in person.
“Rainy Day Star” is my favorite quilt from Little Lone Star Quilts. This quilt is my miniature interpretation of an antique quilt that inspired me to create the technique in my book. I have always loved scrap quilts and I enjoy the challenge of combining many fabrics into a harmonious whole. The quilt got its name from the fun of planning and sewing with the cheerful colors of my ’30s reproduction scraps during a cold, wet spring.
If you attend the show, look for me around the miniature cases. Be sure to visit the Museum of the American Quilter’s Society and see my miniature Double Wedding Ring quilt. One of my little star quilts will also be exhibited at the museum and you can bid on it at the auction to benefit the museum. See you at the show!

What a delightful way to complete something in miniature that could be a huge, tedious chore! Your posting reminded me that I’d wanted to make one of your Little Lone Stars when I first got the book. Now I’ve re-read your other postings and going to pull out batik scraps today and make one.
