I fell in love with these cute quilt blocks from Lori Holt. The pattern book is called Stitchy Stars and it’s available HERE. I’m sure it’s available other places as well, but I really like shopping at 123stitch.com. Their shipping is only $3.49 no matter what size order you have, and their prices are really reasonable, especially for their DMC floss.
After making several of these tiny quilt blocks, and adapting some of them from the original sticky star pattern, I turned them into little Christmas ornaments. With their cream colored background, they will look great on a Christmas tree. And if you don’t stuff them, but rather just mount them on a piece of salt with a piece of ribbon, you can easily mail them without any additional postage.
The way I finished mine was to simply cut the 8 o’clock a little bit bigger and then fry three rows on each side and then sew them onto the felt.
Once you start making stitch quilt blocks, it’s really easy to leave the original pattern and come up with your own Designs and colors. It’s a whole lot of fun, And I love having something in my purse at all times to be able to stitch. It’s a win-win!
Thanks so much for stopping by my little blog, and have a wonderful day!
Barb these are delightful - my 'go to' for on the go stitching is actually canvas bookmarks - I have been given quite a few good sized trimmings from projects a friend has done, and I am now designing my own 'as I go'.. which may or may not be totally successful - I have been known to undo a few rows to get things to finish off and look 'balanced'.

Maxine, I love stitching on plastic canvas too. I recently bought some in brown that I’m looking forward to using. It’s fun creating as we go, even if it doesn’t look perfect. Thanks so much for stopping by today!
DeleteThese are beautiful, Barb, and I love the idea of having something in your purse to work on when waiting around. I wanted to pop in and say thank you so much for the kind comments you left on my blog about my scripture writing journal pages. It means a lot to me as I am just coming back to blogging after a very long absence. Blessings and best wishes to you and your family.
