A Primitive Twist on the Star Sampler
March 26th, 2009 |

Nancy Dey of Kaukauna, Wisconsin sent me these photos of the Star Sampler Totes she and her friend made from Sew and Go Totes! These are great! Don’t you just love her version of this Tote?
Awesome!
The bags were made by Nancy Dey (assembly and pressing) and Jeanine Drzewiecki (block piecing and quilting) and kits will be available for them at Primitive Gatherings in Menasha, WI soon. Primitive Gatherings will have a booth at the Chicago Quilt Show in April and this bag will be there along with the kits.
Nancy and Jeanine are long arm quilters and the quilting on these bags is just beautiful(I hope you can see from this picture). The pockets stars are reversed from front to back.
Thanks for sharing! PS – I love the tablerunner, too!

Welcome to Quilting at the Poorhouse!
Happy Spring!
Welcome Quilters and Sewists!
I am (finally) diving into the world of blogging and I hope you’ll join me! I am a quilt designer from Derry, New Hampshire. You can find my designs at poorhousequiltdesigns.com; stop by and take a look at my new book and patterns! I lean toward quilted bags – I just love to carry around my love for quilting – don’t you?
What is the purpose of this blog? I’d like to share my design development (a.k.a. experiments), inspirations, and other quilty snippets with you!
I have just returned from attending a quilting retreat in Manchester NH that was hosted by Stitched in Stone (located at 53 Church Street in scenic Kingston, NH). A good time was had by all! Tammy treated everyone like a quilting queen. We had a lot of laughs! Tammy inspired us with quilt as you go, and dyeing and painting techniques -we all enjoyed the creativity of these techniques. I was able to test drive a new design! I came back to the studio refreshed and ready to create. More from this event coming soon!
On to Color Inspiration of the Week!
I bought this Gerbera Daisy because I could not resist the colors – deep green leaves with red/orange petals and yellow centers…this would make a great bag or quilt or table runner! Stay tuned…..
