One of the vendors I met while I was in Paducah for quilt week was Yellow Creek Quilt Designs. WOW! These ladies are amazing! I first learned about sisters, Vicki Olsen and Jill Shaulis through the Primitive Quilts magazine specifically the Spring 2013 issue. Yellow Creek Quilt brick and motor shop was a former bank turned post office turned quilt shop--looks like a fun place to visit. Hmm, might be a long road trip, they are in IL and me in TN, but oh the fun places I could find in between the two stops
Photos do not do this quilt justice--the hexies are tiny-- 3/8" tiny! Seeing their beautiful star hexie quilt was motivation for me to begin working on mine again.
My hexes are 1" finished--they seem giant sized compared to the 3/8" size. Sewing the hexies is addicting. They make a great portable project to carry in the car and work on during lunch or while waiting for appts.
The Kindred Spirits book is Yellow Creek Designs first published book by Kansas City Star and yes this book was one of my first purchases. They also have some beautiful fabric and are getting ready to release a second book. If you like making miniature quilts, check them out.
What a fabulous looking mini star quilt you shared from Yellow Creek Designs. I like your version as well!
ReplyDeleteI'm in Illinois and have never been to Yellow Creek Quilt Shop! I think that as soon as I can get cleared to travel, a trip to their shop is in order!
ReplyDeleteI love their stuff!
ReplyDeleteWish I found hexies addicting. Maybe then I would get more of my little Stars in the Garden completed. : )
What a sweet and wonderful mini hexie quilt!
ReplyDeleteYour larger version is going to be beautiful.
The shop looks like it would be a fun place to check out. I like your "huge " hexies.
ReplyDeleteOohhh, hexies! Love hexies! That looks like a great shop!
ReplyDeleteoh my ! your star hexie is wonderful - that is what I want to do with my 1" hexies but the tiny ones are FAB! thanks for sharing that book and the design company. Hope you have a great weekend - Mel
ReplyDeleteI got the digital version of that issue just for the star pattern. Yours is going to beautiful! I will definitely check out their book.
ReplyDeleteVicki and Jill are the best! If you ever have the chance to go to their shop, I'm sure you would love it. Their beautiful booth gives you a good idea of what you would see...only more!
