    Default desperate in Canada

    Hi there, I've lost two patterns very dear to me. They're "Glimmering Star" and "Giant Dahlia", both seen originally in Quilt World mags from the 1970's. If anyone can help me out I'm happy to exchange patterns, fabrics, etc. Thanks and hope to hear from fellow quilters soon!

    Jeannie, I will have a look through the magazines I have. I have a lot of the older ones I collected.
    Blessed are the children of the piecemakers for they shall inherit the quilts!

    Also, try E-bay. Quilt Magazine Fall 2005. It says by popular demand and shows it on the cover. Hope this helps.

    Marti Mitchell puts out a Giant Dahlia pattern, and I think it comes with templates. I don't know about the Glimmering Star pattern.

    I have the Marti Michell templates and pattern to make a Giant Dahlia and love those but not ready to part with them.

    I do have another set of 1/8" plastic templates I ordered from a manufacturer in the UK and a book I bought on Amazon which I could sell: "Quick and Easy Giant Dahlia Quilts". The book comes with paper templates you can cut out or trace onto template plastic. I'm located in Ontario (Prescott).

    I am glad to hear you like the Marti Mitchell templates. I may break down and get them for myself. I wouldn't make a Giant Dahlia with template plastic as I don't think you can rotary cut with them, but I may be wrong. I believe Marti has a video out there that was great to watch.

    Yes you can rotary cut with the templates to make a Giant Dahlia. The curves are very gentle, I can use my 60mm cutter. Marti and her daughter have a video on Quilters TV where they make the Dahlia.

    Thx so much to everyone. I'll see if I can track these down. Already have the fabric and dying to get to these two patterns.
