Welcome to the Star Gazer Quilt Along
Welcome to the Star Gazer QAL. I am so excited to get this party started. First, to introduce myself, I am Melissa of Lunden Designs. I have been sewing all my life and fell in love with quilting 5 years ago. I moved from NYC to California 3 1/2 years ago, where I began sewing for Birch Fabrics. After getting requests for patterns for the quilts that I was making for Birch, starting a pattern company was the next natural step. Lunden Designs was born this past summer. I am so excited to be doing this QAL and to get to know everyone who is participating. If you feel so inclined, please leave a comment introducing yourself. I also set up a Flickr group so it would be easy...

I am about to get to work on a version of Star Gazer using Birch’s new line, Yay Day! and thought it would be fun to do a quilt a long. I put a post up on Facebook to see if anyone would be interested in joining in and got a good response. So if anyone is interested, let me know.

Just enter SGQAL when you check out. A very...

Read MoreAn Anniversary Quilt
My sweet husband is so supportive of my quilting business. His feedback and help has been crucial to any success I have had. The hardest part for him is that we rarely keep the quilts I make. He really loved the Northern Exposure quilt, and even named it for me, so I knew that I would make him one for our anniversary. I used the full/queen size option and the second layout with the narrow columns. It looks like it has always been on my bed – it fits so nicely in our room and is perfect for the winter. I used prints from Birch’s Camp Sur and then added Shroom and Mahogany, along with Dandi Flight from the Commute line and a Denyse...
