Twinkle - Wish Upon a Star Blog Hop

Welcome to 
Creatin' in the Sticks
where the stars are twinkling today.


The Wish Upon a Star Blog Hop
is hosted by my friend
and she has a super sweet giveaway for the hop.
Don't forget to enter over on her blog by clicking HERE.


I was so excited to make stars, so I started with a couple charm square packs
 (Riley Blake's Willow), sliced a few and stitched them together.

Next, I made a table of stars in Word and printed them on one of my favorite
fusible applique tools, HeatnBond EZ Print Lite 
No Tracing for me!!!


Some of the stars were reverse appliqued with white fabric in the middle.


And others were fused around the white border.

To embroider the words to Twinkle, twinkle little star I printed the letters on 
StitchnSew EZ Quilt Block Sheets 
and stitched the letters on my domestic machine with a triple stitch.
After the stitching is finished, the sheets just tear right off with no problem.

The quilt is quilted with bunnies and stars and the backing is a soft, Minky cuddle fabric.
I used batting in the middle and it's just right.

I love that song so much and will keep this quilt
 for when my new granddaughter comes to visit my house.
It's the perfect size for her right now.
Have you been keeping up with the hop?

 There are all kinds of quilty stars to see.
Here is the complete schedule:

    Oh, Carla, this is such a sweet star quilt! It is beautiful and will look even prettier wrapped around your granddaughter. I love the idea of using quilt sheets for lettering and will definitely be using that method soon. It's a brilliant idea! Thank you for joining in the hop and sharing your star project. You are a bright star in my life, sweet friend!

    This is a really cute quilt, Carla! I love the appliqued stars, and I really love the writing. Thanks for sharing how you did that. I got some of the Stitch & Sew, erroneously I thought, once. It wasn't a mistake after all, because now I know what to do with it. :) Thanks for sharing--your granddaughter will love it!

    This is sew cute, Carla. You are always sew creative ... amazing! Thank you for showing how you did this, especially the lettering. I have never tried this product but I have tried lettering in a similar manner before. This method looks much easier and crisper. Going to have to try this soon .... :-) Pat

    Hi Carla,
    What a sweet baby quilt, and I just love the idea of your NEW granddaughter getting to use it when she comes for a visit. It's even better when you get to wrap her in it and get to snuggle - oh those times are so fabulous.
    Happy Friday! ~smile~ Roseanne

    This is really cute! And what a clever way to a) get your words on the quilt, and b) stitch them! (I guess that involved a ton of turning the quilt, huh?)

    happy sewing ~ Tracy

    Carla, your sweet grand daughter will love snuggling up in this beautiful quilt! I'm intrigued with how you used the Stitch 'n Sew sheets to sew on the words...what a great idea! I think I may even have some in my stash somewhere. Enjoy your new little blessing!

    Your quilt is so pretty and soft and cuddly (I can tell just by looking at it). I will have to check out the tear able printable sheets. Revolutionary. Thanks for sharing that. Now I think I can quilt words too.

    The stars really make the simple patchwork shine!
    The verse wrapping right around the quilt really amps up the quilt.
    It turned something sew simple into something sew special ... and for one sweet Granddaughter too! :)
