Is this "the" California sta...Hi Barbara<br /><br />Is this "the" California star pattern? A friend cited the story behind the song, California stars. <br />I did a very quick search online and found (wickepedia);<br /><br />Guthrie's transcription of the lyric is undated. Guthrie's daughter, Nora, speculates that the lyric was written in the late 30's. The transcription notes that it was written at 827 Cedar Ave.in Long Beach, CA. [1]<br /><br />The lyrics are simple but surreal, describing the singer lying under the California sky and dreaming of lying with a lover on a "bed" of stars. A "California Star" is a complex geometric pattern used in making quilts, which could have been an influence on Guthrie's writing, lending a more literal interpretation to the phrase "a bed of California Stars."<br /><br />What are your thoughts on this being the most probable pattern? <br /><br />Thank you in advance. <br />Sandra Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369992819437905498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-29522289525106054222010-04-18T19:00:08.730-05:002010-04-18T19:00:08.730-05:00Thank you for introducing us to such an incredible...Thank you for introducing us to such an incredible quilter - Michelle is so gifted - her sense of color is exquisite - so much movement!
