"Purple Cabins and A Bears Track"

This is one quilt I can truly say I am sorry I gave away. The quilt was a request by my husbands nephew for his fiancée. She liked purples but did not want any florals in the fabric. Wow! That called for a search that went on for weeks. I begin with the purples and the light background but as I begin to get blocks together it needed a little something else. I added the green which gave it the perfect highlight. It really is an eye catcher. It too has won ribbons.

"Applique in Paradise"

Last but not least is this wonderful applique quilt. The one thing I swore I could never do. I took the class from Darlene Christopher, a renowned applique instructor/lecturer and fell in love with applique. It was so much fun I hated to complete it but wanted to see it finished and quilted, so stopped at smaller than I normally do. The technique is so easy and quick. My final words on this one is - "never say never." You will eat your words and won’t know what you are missing.

"I hope everyone enjoys viewing these quilts as much as I did making them. I enjoy seeing what I can create with wonderful colorful fabrics and traditional patterns." ......Fran
