A New Start for the New Year

Welcome to the Ties that Bind Quilters Web Page!
This is our January issue, and I hope it will be a model for the rest of the year.

Next Meeting:  Wednesday, Jan. 18th, at 7:00
Place:  Pilgrim Lutheran Church
462 Meadowbrook Drive, West Bend, Wisconsin

All are welcome!

Members, if you participated in the Brown Bag Challenge, this is the meeting to bring your finished gift.
Our Food Pantry item for January is canned vegetables.

Each month I'm planning to include a tutorial for a free scrap quilt pattern.  This month's is Star Value, by Melissa Corry of Happy Quilting, which is pictured above.

All of the pieces are either squares or half square triangles, so not too difficult.  There are directions for several different sizes of blocks, which of course use different sized scraps.  The block above (yes, that's just one block!) finishes at 20 in.
Here's a photo of the full quilt:

It's a lovely quilt, and a good, detailed tutorial.  FYI, it was first published on the Happy Quilting blog in 2013, so the giveaways listed are no longer offered.

Here's the link to the tutorial:

While you're there, you may want to check out her other tutorials.  She has lots, and they're all free.

Please let me (Sylvia) know if anything here doesn't work, etc.  I'd also like to know if you make one of these--we'll be sure to post a photo.

Stay warm, and happy quilting!
