Hickory Sticks and Crystal Snow

Let's face it...winter is Minnesota is just plain Cold! However....it can be very, very pretty.

Hickory Sticks is a new little quilt designed just in time for Houston Quilt Festival. The piece measures 18" x 18". The little log cabin blocks are made from scrap fabrics. Paper piecing onto a foundation kept my little blocks accurate, neat, and just plain adorable! How can you resist these little blocks!  They are truly addicting!

The center block has significance that I'll share with you later. I'm very proud to be part of this exciting news that will be announced in the weeks to come!

Crystal Snow is one of my favorite pattern designs. Embellish with flat back swarovsky crystals, beads, or decorative threads.
