Lone Star - T-shirt (Candy Corn - Black)

I don't do costumes. I do this shirt. It's a Lone Star block pieced entirely in candy corn: pale yellow at the tips, a ring of bright gold, a bite of tangerine, and a little white center where all the points meet, sitting on a black tee so the whole star glows like a jack-o'-lantern in a window. It's the block every quilter recognizes from across a room, dressed up for the one holiday where showing off is the entire point.

Here's what I love about wearing it: nobody has to ask what you are. To most people it's a pretty star. To another quilter it's a whole conversation, and she'll find you by the punch bowl within about four minutes. That's the secret handshake of this shirt. You get to be festive and be yourself at the same time, no glue gun required.

It's printed on a soft, everyday Bella+Canvas crew neck, so it works for the class party, the trunk-or-treat, and the late-night sewing session where you're supposedly "just pressing a few seams." If you've ever pieced a Lone Star (or dreamed about it and then chickened out, which counts), this one's yours.

Each shirt is printed for you when you order. All sales are final.
