Hi Everyone! It has been go, go, go here at the studio! I finished up one new set of stamps and one single stamp that you are going to LOVE!
My inspiration for designs come from antique tops and quilts, as many of you know. This was an old top that peaked my interest.
Antique Sunburst quilt top
I worked on designing a size and stamps that would lend themselves to many options and settled on finished 6″ round circles.
Here is my new design, Sunburst!
I added an embroidered border.
It was so much fun to make each block scrappy! You KNOW I love blue, so of course I made several blue blocks.

The stamp set contains 4 stamps and detailed instructions on hand piecing each block. The border design is included as well.
Contains 4 stamps and detailed instructions.

The second stamp got my attention from several of you that are making “Panama Pyramids,” a design by Linda Collins and published in Quiltmania #94. My friend, Jo Morton is participating in a “Sew-Along” this summer with this exquisite antique quilt as the model. (You can see everyone’s progress on Face Book on Linda’s group page “Panama Pyramids Sew-along 2016” Lots of people are making them by machine, but several of you contacted me and asked for stamps for the project. Well, your wish is my command… I designed and tested a large pyramid that will connect with the triangle in the “Sugar Loaf” set of stamps. You will need the Sugar Loaf set of stamps.
The sugar loaf triangle makes the small triangle sections.
The new Sugar Loaf Large Pyramid connects with the sugar loaf triangles.
Stamp features a reference mark to line up the small triangles perfectly!
I included detailed instructions with the Sugar Loaf Large Pyramid that discusses grain line. My stamp is notched at the top and is placed parallel to the grain along the finger holds for no stretch.
After you make these units, you set them together with an even larger setting triangle. Because the setting triangle is so large, you cannot make it into a template stamp. So I included the pattern for the setting triangle in the pattern and it has reference marks, too!
I’ve also included pressing instructions to give you the PERFECT triangles that will be easy to set into your quilt.
Large Pyramid contains stamp and instructions.

Until next time,
Happy Stitching!
