Design Source - Description | When Merle Ann Butler lived in Virginia Beach, I commissioned her to make this wall hanging for me. I met her at a friend's home where Merle Ann was showing her angel quilts. She that making and selling these was her "bread and butter." She told us about her life. Although I could sew, I fell in love with her angels. I had fabric and lace that had meaning to me, so she made the quilt with those. She hand painted the face. Beautiful. she also sold her pattern to me, so I made some as gifts for my sister and brother. It took so many hours. I never saw one of those angel gilfts displayed. I wonder if they still have them. |
