I always loved the Lemoyne star block! And we just got some new stamps for it! So I couldn't wait to try them! They arre on the website under Notions and then Stamps
So I tried the 1" ones. You put the stamp on a clear acrylic block stamp. Then using fabric ink, you can stamp the wrong side of your fabric. Because they are clear, it is easy to fussy cut!
When you are done, you just wash them with water and soap and let them dry...
So then, you cut on the dotted line all the shapes, I prepared for 2 blocks:
Then you just hand piece the pieces together. I used Aurifil thread to piece them
Sew the diamonds four together. Then sew the two halves together. Then add the outside, one piece after the other so you don't need to start and stop all the time...
And here is the first block! Oh I love it!! It is so easy with the stamps! I can see myself making many of these! They are going to finish 3 3/8" square, so cute!
And what I like about them is that they are a very portable project!
I need to try the 3/4" size now... I am so excited!

Thanks to Dawn who told me about this book, I found it!
It has been published for an exhibition that took place in Normandy, France in 2003... I bet it was an amazing event!
Do you know of Leah Zieber? She just wrote a book, a wonderful story of the journey of Libby Morgan who is taught by her grandmother how to make her first quilt, and it's a hexagon quilt!
If you are on Facebook, she just started a group of people reproducing that quilt. She has an Etsy shop where you can buy the book: ZieberQuilts
Have a great day!
