I am trying to find a copy of 'Galaxy of Stars' quilt pattern, by quiltmaker Debby Kratovil. It is shown on the front of the Dec 2006-Jan 2007 #73 Quilt magazine. Inside it is also shown and is a 'web bonus'. That means that even though the quilt is shown on the cover and in the magazine, one would have to go the web site to get the pattern. I tried recently, and can't find the pattern there. I know it is an old magazine, but wouldn't one think that a quilt so prominently shown on the cover would have the pattern in the magazine??? Did any one download a copy of this pattern? Can anyone help me find it? I've e-mailed Quilt magazine and haven't heard a response. The pattern has to be out there somewhere. Help!!! Please!!! Thank you.
Janis

Hello. I just googled "Galaxy of stars quilt pattern" and it brought up several sites. DO NOT GOinto the ones that have "This site may harm your computer" . We have been warned about some of these. Glad they post it for all to see. Hope you find what you need.

I would contact Quilt Magazine and ask them if they can forward you a copy of it. Their archive doesn't seem to go back far enough :(

Is this it? It's not free but not too expensive either.

I have googled Galaxy of Stars, and got the same response. I will not open the ones that might harm my computer.
I have contacted the magazine and gotten no response from them.
No, Raptureready that is not the one. Thanks anyway.
I did send an e-mail to the quiltmaker to see if she can help me with it.
Thanks everyone for your help. I'll let you all know if the quiltmaker answers my e-mail and what she has to say.

The warning means the type of files used by the web site MIGHT be harmful. It does not mean that web site actually has viruses.

I went thru Debby's web site and didn't see the pattern.

I just saw that pattern recently in an old quilting magazine. Gave all my old magazines to my quilting club. Will do some looking this week.

Janis 09-19-2010 01:44 PM

I e-mailed Debby to see if she could help. There are a lot of different patterns on the web that have similar names, but I'm looking for Debby's pattern and don't think they are probably on those sites that have warnings, so I haven't tried them. Worst comes to worst, I'll have to use the picture of the pattern and try to draft my own pattern.
KansasBarb, Thanks for looking for the magazine. I haven't given up hope on finding the pattern yet.
Thanks again to all of you who have tried helping me.

http://planetpatchwork.com/updates/update01192007.htm This is the first one I thought of, thinking it was called Galaxie of Stars, but no, it is Celestial Migraine.

But I did find this free pattern for you. http://www.simplicity.com/t-free-qui...ars-Quilt.aspx

Any of these help?

rudiemom, Thank you so very much for finding this for me!!!
The center star is the same as in the pattern I was looking for, but the others are much nicer than in the original pattern I was looking at. Now to see how I can get the pattern. I'll e-mail her again and see what it would take to get this pattern. I was drawn to the center star anyway, and like this one better. The stars are much better than in the original one I wanted.
Thank you so very much for finding it for me. what did you do to find it? Thanks again, Janis

I went on line, and unfortunately my library doesn't have that book. I don't know if it has the pattern that I want anyway. I couldn't see all of the patterns on Amazon, but the names on the title page doesn't list either Galaxy of Stars or Knock Your Sox Off Stars. I sent an e-mail to the author, but haven't heard anything back from her. Thanks.

Debbie, I have also noticed that many of the sites that I would go to for patterns have this same warning. So, now all quilters are under attack???!!!!

I sincerly doubt if all the sites you would go to for patterns actually have viruses or trojan horses. The warning says the type of files contained in the web site are the type that might have viruses or trojans. Might is the operative word.

Hi, all. This is Debby Kratovil. I understand a few of you are looking for my Galaxy of Stars pattern CD. I used to offer it at my web site and then I switched servers and forgot to get that link back up. I think I've attached the jpg of it here, but if not you can see it here:
http://www.quilterbydesign.com/KnockYourSoxOffStars.jpg
You can get this pattern through me for $10 plus postage. Just email me: [email protected] for details. ALL the star patterns are included, with printable full size templates and foundations. It was at the Quilt magazine web site for a year after it was published, but I requested it be taken down (as I own all rights).
Debby
