dragonflye Rae's Redwork - I used a variety of traditional blocks donated from friends and a few of my own designs for this quilt. It was made for my aunt, who lost everything in Hurricane Rita, in Creole La. The center was hand stitched by me in red perle cotton. The first two blocks in the top row, and the third one on the second row were done by me. The others were done by good friends from an online quilting email group that I have belonged to for several years.. Marcie Cutrer of Denham Springs LA, Tania from New Zealand, Annie Lewis of PA, Donna Staby of PA, and Margy Collingwood of the UK. An extra block made by Norma Daniels was made into a pillow to go along with the quilt. The machine applique block at the center of the bottom row reads "thinking of you across the miles" and it was made by Tania in NZ.
