An antique quilt I discovered at the Stagecoach Inn museum in Newbury Park, California while researching The Quilter’s Homecoming inspired “Arboles Valley Star, which Elizabeth names in honor of her new home in Southern California. The pattern for “Arboles Valley Star” appears in my third pattern book, More Elm Creek Quilts (C&T Publishing, 2008).
Machine pieced and quilted by Pat Morris, 2007. Fabrics: “Elm Creek Quilts: Elizabeth’s Collection” from Red Rooster Fabrics.
