The Twinkling Star quilt is a multi-pieced star pattern with one lone star in the center and many small stars arranged to “twinkle” around it. Star patterns are some of the oldest quilt patterns, but great precision is needed to make all the star points meet and lie flat! It is neatly hand-quilted by one Amish lady to insure uniform stitches. The quilt fits a queen-size bed, allowing 20.5 inches of drop per side with sufficient length for a pillow tuck.
Homemade quilts combine the warmth of a bed cover with a unique story told by the quilters from Lancaster County, PA. Every homemade quilt is as unique as the family, busy mother or Amish ladies group who uses a needle and thimble to thread stitch on the quilt. Some quilts involve hundreds of hours and thousands of stitches to create a unique patchwork quilt that will last for generations.

Though the pieces of fabric are stitched by machine to ensure tighter stitching, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton fabrics make up the top and bottom of the quilt. The batting sandwiched between those two layers, however, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting warranties both warmth as well as outstanding washing outcomes.

The term handmade is generally used to describe crafts produced by a craftsman as opposed to a manufacturing facility. Because it is not mass-produced, each handmade quilt is unique. Nonetheless, not all the stitching in a handmade quilt is done by hand. Just as the woodcrafter uses mechanical devices to produce his craftsmanship, our seamstresses use different devices to craft these quilts. The seamstress cuts her pieces with a rotating knife as well as sew them with each other on the stitching machine. The quilter deals with just thread, thimble, and also needle to quilt numerous little stitches throughout the quilt. Handmade is a gift: it is the gift of time and also talent to develop an item distinctly for you.
