I am thrilled to be participating in the 12 Days of Best Christmas
Quilts Blog Tour. If you are new to my blog – Welcome!
I was lucky enough to have my quilt Winter Stars featured in this special issue published by the staff of Quilter's Newsletter. The issue is available through Quilt and Show shop and your local quilt shop and bookstores. This is what it looks like in the magazine.
I love stars of every kind. I am always looking for new ways to make them. This one is foundation pieced. It is a 15" block. I used RJR Fabrics Holiday Accent Collection. (Sorry about the color, it is the blue in the photo above).
Here is what the collection looks like.
You can find lots of other star patterns on my website Gateway Quilts & Stuff including my book St. Louis Stars to see how much I like stars! You will also find a kit to make this beautiful table runner. It includes all the fabrics needed to create the top and binding or you can purchase it with the backing.
Would you like to win a copy of the magazine and this wonderful fabric bundle? Just leave a comment on this blog post before 11:59 p.m. MDT tonight August 28, for a chance to win the Holiday Accents fabric bundle and a copy of Best Christmas Quilts. Tell me how much you like stars and your name will go into a drawing. Get an early start on those holiday gifts. Anyone would be thrilled to receive this wonderful table runner! One comment per person please. Open to those who haven't won something from Quilters Newsletter in the last 90 days. And please leave me some means of contacting you if you do win.
Come back next week and I will show you my newest template set called North Star. It is used to create a fast easy star to make a place mat, table runner or table topper using a stripe or with simple strip piecing.
Thank you for visiting my blog and good luck.
In closing, always do what you love and love what you do. Toby

Great color combination.
I love stars too. I think your Winter Stars table runner is beautiful!
I adore your pattern for this star runner! Thank you south for sharing this! I have my fingers, toes and eyes crossed hoping I can win! Thank you again!
Love the stars & the blue material.
This is a gorgeous table runner! I am a country girl so I love looking at stars in the night sky! And I like to see them in quilts, paintings and just about anything where you can be creative with stars.

I love the Winter Stars Table Runner-it is actually nice to see it in the yellow and blue. Hope to win.. Thanks
I love stars especially at Christmas!
Toby, I remember you personally because we shared a room (with 2 other gals) at a Missouri State Quilters retreat several years ago.
I enjoy your designs, especially the stars. This runner is to die for.
Your work is so very beautiful! I have had an attraction to star patterns for many years. I make a lot of Morning Star quilts (or Bethlehem Star, Lone Star, etc.)
I love blue for Christmas and Winter Stars would be lovely in my blue Dinning room, Thanks
Excellent Table Runner. I really like your desings. They are great. thanks
I love your star table runner! I'd love to be entered to win.
I love stars a lot...a quilt without a star is like a pizza without pepperoni...there are so many different stars, there has to be one to suit every quilt. Love the foundation pieced star runner...so beautiful. Thanks for sharing, have a wonderful week. Pauline
Only 9 more days and we will get to see these things in person :-)
Well, I absolutely adore stars!
My blog even has stars in the name:

My little guys' crib quilts are all star samplers. My first favorite star was LeMoyne. I love paper-piecing stars! I'm a sucker for stars with diamonds or lots of facets! I chose as many stars as I could in the book, "Sylvia's Bridal Sampler" for the king-sized sampler I'm working on right now.
And I love snowflakes too, because they're so much like intricate little stars....so I yell "me, me, I want that gorgeous fabric!"
Thanks! Great to meet you!
I love stars! I also love to look into the sky and find the constellations and watch shooting & falling stars. What a beautiful quilt! Thanks for a chance to win! :)
Stars are among my favorite blocks--I'm especially fond of your 15" foundation pieced stars!
I also have a collection of star fabrics!
It is beautiful! Blue is my favourite colour.
