Missouri ‘Stargazer’ quilt
with Colleen Baptiste
Mar. 23 9am – 2:30pm (set-up at 8:30 am)
Back 1/3 of the Oliver Community Hall
12” sq. block - makes a quilt 58 x 72” (including borders)
This is a jelly roll pattern…pictured is Bee Cross Stitch Rolie Polie by Lori Holt for Riley Blake.
You can use whatever color scheme you like…. You might want a dark background with lighter colored triangles instead of the pictured light background with darker triangles. This pretty block comes together like a log cabin with snowballed corners. It's quick, easy, and so much fun to make!

Colleen works in the human resources department of the local Indian Band teaching homemaking and life skills, but in her free time, she enjoys trying out new creative quilting skills, especially those that do not involve piecing curves. 25 years ago, Colleen took a beginner quilt making class with Marianne Parsons upon joining the Double O Quilters Guild, and has been creating quilted comforts for her 3 children, 2 grandchildren and friends ever since.
About 15 years ago, she created a block representing the Okanagan Nation for the internationally acclaimed Quilt of Belonging, and has been creating the annual SOSS Grad Award quilt from the guild for 14 years.
She has seen many changes in the guild, and enjoys the camaraderie and what the guild accomplishes.
