Andrea Stracke turned a simple strip quilt into an exquisite piece of art with the help of diamond jewelry. She based the quilting for Andesine on jewelry made in the Belle Epoque era (ca. 1871-1914). Andrea marked the quilting patterns with a darning needle freehand and also used cardboard templates. The quilt takes you back to another time.

 

Andrea's quilt was on display in Houston 2018 as part of the Merit Quilting Hand exhibit.
