Featured in Houston 2012, the "patchwork, appliqué, and quilting of Mariner's Compass patterns" were stitched "step-by-step with harmonizing images" leading "to a beautiful quilt with a historical feel." Explore this fabulous hand pieced, appliquéd, embroidered and hand quilted work and you'll discover new worlds of your own.
