Quilting Blocks
The eight pointed diamond star is the inspiration for this "Home Sweet Home" design. Its points encase tiny little houses and flower motifs.
The piece is cross stitched in luminous DMC Variegated Red, which very gradually changes colors (used both in the stars and the border motifs), adding warmth to the design.

Crazy Quilting
Crazy quilts became hugely popular in Victorian times and if you're lucky you might come across one at a flea market. They combine pieces of irregular shapes into a patchwork, each piece assembled to the next using a variety of embroidery stitches such a feather stitch.
This cross stitch pattern designed by Lesley Teare is inspired by those late 19th century designs. It incorporates different "printed fabric" motifs as well as many different scraps of "lace".
