COVER!!


Well knock me over!
My STAR SPLITTER quilt is on the cover of the March April issue of Quiltmaker! Listed with Bonnie Hunter and Edyta Sitar!
KLUNK! I just fell on the floor!

I've had many requests for the pattern of this quilt for three years, and well, here it is!  I'm thrilled!!


This quilt had such a fun journey. How many of you remember reading about me making this quilt?
I started this quilt at A retreat I put together in Minnesota, with no plan at all, and it just grew and grew...If you have my book, 15 Minutes of Play, you can read about the journey there.
You can also see an old post about it here

Beatrice and I at the Empire Quilt show where it won  "Judges choice" and "2nd place machine quilting."


AND, this quilt is a cover girl TWICE! It's also the cover of my book!   You can buy a copy of my book signed, HERE.

(International shipping MUST email me for a invoice...)

    Some people might think this is "quick" success for you, but it's taken a lot of work to get here, you deserve all the accolades and you have certainly earned the "cover girl" status! WHooHoo to you!

    Well congratulations Victoria. You must be so pleased. It is completely human to want to be recognized for our efforts and the pleasure that you have created for others to follow. I have enjoyed your blog (life) since coming on board to watch. Thank you for that and congrats once again. You do have a passion and it shows.

    How cool! You know, my mom bought me another copy of your book for Christmas (she knows what I like, but was surprised that I actually bought it for myself. I wasn't going to leave that to chance!). So, I'm giving my second copy away on my blog next week as part of the Dare to
    Dresden blog hop.

    Star Splitter is a "style setter" for sure! Quilting will never be the same!
