The finest quilt grade cottons have been carefully selected, well pieced and beautifully quilted. We profoundly connect with this quilt: for us it connects all the dots! It guides us as it should . . . . it’s a Mariners Compass. It took a lot of skill to make this quilt: so much thought and effort applied in great detail. (Item 2267)

The Moonglow is an outrageously difficult quilt to make and as such, we had one artist who was adept at and loved making this Jinny Beyer design. When she retired from making this very popular quilt a few years ago we never thought we’d find someone else who was able to make such a complex quilt. The new maker is definitely up to the task. Her quilt is a masterpiece made with a blend of Jinny Beyer and other quilt grade cottons. And for lovers of quilts, here’s an interesting tidbit: the maker did NOT paper piece this quilt!

The maker of this Chrysalis Star Amish quilt has arranged black and white print fabrics to create this pattern that is glinting, pulsing and radiating. It’s a restless and exploding, yet contained star pattern – brilliantly designed: How do you achieve achieve expanding diamonds and rectangular logs that become curves? And can you see that there isn’t a solid fabric in this quilt? Even what appears to be white is a white on white shadow patterned fabric and over this, are heavily hand quilted swirl patterns which serve to stand for the cosmos. (Item 2095)

Our Radiant Star Amish quilt is as close as we can get to a real star. It radiates energy via precise hand quilting and perfect piecing of well chosen fabrics. Additionally there is applique over the pillow portion of the quilt. The maker is an amazing quilter, so take a moment, zoom in and really look at her amazing work. Even more, it’s not often you find patchwork piecing along with applique in the same quilt. (Item 2160)

A beautiful Star Spin Amish quilt all in shades of navy blue. Superb quilting and piecing. the Amish never cease to amaze: an entire array of sensations or feeling (kind of a poem) can be unlocked based upon the quilter’s choice of fabrics. In this quilt there are the four seasons: the feel of a snowstorm on your face, even the taste of snow on your tongue, spring on a mild afternoon and a lush summer’s night, autumn is in this Star Spin quilt too – all from fabrics. The white-on-white fabric generates the stars’ spin and the forward march of the seasons. (Item 2230)

This patchwork Lone Star is so countrified. So authentic. It’s like it belongs in an old country house with a thatched roof, nestled into an old growth garden. We deeply love this quilt. It has taught us that occasionally a masterpiece quilt is made that is more than fabrics, pattern, piecing and quilting. Yes, more than any of these aspects: It is high art. It is magic. It will coat the way moss covers a tree limb or rock. This is one of the heaviest and most luxuriously soft quilts we have handled. It will become part of you.

We believe this beautiful quilt describes the journey of those seeking to escape slavery by traveling to and reaching the northern states and beyond into Canada.
In the middle of the quilt burns a traditional 8-pointed Amish star: a star of faith, conviction and courage. In order to avoid detection and recapture, escapees had to travel at night. They relied upon the stars to point the way north, as represented by the stars that ring the quilt. After the inner Amish star is the pattern Drunkard’s Path which represents the evasive maneuvers taken to avoid detection. Like the rivers and streams followed by escapees, the Drunkards Path is meandering and winding. This is a strong, beautiful Amish textile. (Item 2171)

Our Spin Spin Star Amish quilt is both beautiful and contemporary. Take a look at the first border of mini spinning stars and the complexity of these shapes: how they are pieced and constructed. What’s great is that you can clearly see the geometry because this Spin Star quilt is entirely in shades of back and white. The fabrics are so well chosen. Even the white fabric is a shadow pattern.

This variation on a Broken Star quilt pattern (and sometimes called a Fan Star) is called a Chrysalis Star. The maker used an array of print and solid fabrics and pieced them from dark to light to dark again. The quilt’s light background both contrasts and compliments the pattern and the fabrics. This Broken Star quilt is a stunner, with feathered wreaths and garlands hand quilted patterns throughout. (Item 1064)

Stunningly hand quilted and pieced with inhuman perfection, it’s the fabrics of this Radiant Star that capture the attention. The center coalesces into airborne pollen or oceanic plankton that nourishes more complex organisms until reaching molten depths . . . only for the pattern to arrive full circle where it began and begins again. Our Radiant Star Amish quilt is abstract poetry, eye music. (Item 2231)

The first word we uttered when we saw this Mariners Star quilt was “Wow!”. The color given off by this quilt, based upon the selection of fabrics, grabs our attention. We see this color in the early dawn or at dusk – that still time between day and night. It is a difficult color to express and rarely seen outside of nature . . . and this quilt. The detail images show the very unusual fabrics: an array of geometrics and solids which enable the quilt to radiate just as we see with stars. Hand quilting is tiny and evenly spaced throughout, and, there’s lots of it.

Here is a beautifully pieced Hunters Star Amish quilt. The lines are clean, but this pattern is far from simple. The quilt morphs according to the viewer’s attention and point of observation. Created using three simple shapes (triangles, parallelograms and diamonds) the quilt sings sweetly and it has class. (Item – 2136)
