Introducing...




Sparkle Plenty!  I love how my very talented daughter formatted the pattern cover.


Carrie and Carol were amazing Supremes.  Please go have a look at their version of Sparkle Plenty.  What a difference fabric choice makes!  If their blog post isn't up when you're reading this I do hope you'll take a moment to stop back by.


Sparkle Plenty was the name of a laundry mat/dry cleaner in the small town where I grew up.   I always loved the name.  High contrast is what really makes this quilt sparkle and the star pattern emerge.


Details:

*48" x 48" finished
*quilted by Jackie at Canton Village Quilt Works
*all polka dots from various fabric lines
*scrap happy and charm pack friendly
*perfect for a wall hanging, table topper, small lap or toddler-size quilt.
*now available HERE in pdf
*diagrams for cutting and construction included
*hard copy available upon request


I just had to make a Christmas one.

*          *          *          *          *

Huge thank yous to my amazing daughter, Allison, Jackie for her creative eye and artistic way with quilting, and Carol and Carrie for the time, awesome talent, and patience.  Job well done ladies.

~Piecefully, Stephanie
