Saffron Spring-OCD Meets SAD by Barbara Lies
"Winter 2007 was a long, snow-burdened winter bereft of sunshine. I sought expression in beautiful curves, innovative quilting, elegant perforations and bright color. When a friend said the design looked Eastern, "Saffron Spring" sprung!"
Our roving reporter, Pam Holland, takes us with her to South Africa. This week, in Part I, we join in the joy of quilters all over the world. As we start this new year, you will be reminded to "Brighten the corner where you are."
