I have been busy as a bee playing with my
Gracie Girl fabric...
and getting ready for my
fall quilt market display in Houston.
Today I wanted to share with you
the release of a new
Gracie Girl quilt pattern...
This is an older pattern that
I published way back in the late 90's.
Back then I simply named the pattern
"Pieced Drunkards Path"
When I originally designed this pattern...
there were no such things as pre-cuts...
and in my original pattern
I used 2 1/2" squares...
but this time around...
I resized it to use 5" pre-cut squares:)
(or 10" squares subcut into 5" squares)
You get the look of the
traditional drunkards path block curve
by using my Easy Corner Triangle method.
A very easy quilt to make...
and finishes up into a nice twin size.
My always sweet friend and
sometimes stunt double Sherri...
quickly pieced the top for me
after I sent it to her
all cut and ready to go...
Thanks a bunch Sherri!
After quilt market is over...
it will be going on Kassidy's bed...
as she requested:)
I hope she has
"sweet dreams"
every time that
she sleeps underneath Sugar Stars:)
I also made Kass a 24" pillow...
to match the quilt and for her room as well.
Instructions and pattern for the pillow are of course included in the pattern:)
"Sugar Stars"
64" x 84"

Bee in my Bonnet
If you want to have sweet dreams...
and sleep under some Sugar Stars too...
to make some of your own!
Have a quilty kind of day...

Very cute pattern, Lori. So simple and yet shows such a great variety of Gracie Girl. I can see why Kass wants to sleep under it each night.
Lori you are such a great mom, always doing for your kids you are so talented. I love all your ideas and quilts.
Love love love!!!
Love the Gracie fabric and the pattern... a perfect pairing!
SUPER cute! You never fail to amaze me! LOVE it!
That is a super cute pattern. And the pillow is super cute too!
Love the fabrics and pattern. I know a 16 year old girl in my family who would love it! Thanks for always being so inspiring Lori!
Love the pattern and the fabric!
Another great pattern for my granddaughter and me to sew. Love the scrappiness.
Lori, it shouldn't surprise you that I LOVE this pattern. It's beyond wonderful. A definite must have.
This is very cute! I love it.
I have never been a fan of the snowball pattern, even though I'm pretty snowflakey in every other way, but this is such a clever twist on a classic, I may just have to incorporate it some time. Thank you for the inspiration, and enjoy Houston!
Such a cute pattern!!
I totally love this - AND your new fabric line! Have a great time at market!

My Quilty Fun book arrived today!
I love the spiral binding and the wonderful quotes.
Getting ready to "Sew it like I mean it!"
OK, I know you know this, but I got my book today!!!!! Awesomeness abounds! Thank you for writing it. I want the next one to have all the barn, tractor, silo blocks in it too. Oh, right, its your book, you get to do whatever you want, but the farm blocks would be good. You're wisdom shows in your choice of strips for instructing beginners, so they can repeat blocks. How smart!
I like that, only it looks like flowers to me. =) I got your book in the mail today and look forward to sitting down with it tonight and perusing every single page!
Love this Lori! (As always.)
Lori, I received my Quilty Fun book today.....Oh my the book is just beautiful not to mention all of the lovely patterns.....Just a delight to set and go through it time and again....Congrats on a job very well done..Freda
