Through the Window - For my younger sister's 50th birthday, I set out to find a pattern and materials that would make her thrilled with her quilt. Thank you TQS for the Episode 710 with Laura Nownes where I found the perfect pattern for the perfect choice. I used Ricky Tim's commercial fabric for the central block fabric and "happened" to have what looks like the same pebble fabric as used in the pattern picture in my stash. A lot of prayer went into this quilt since I wanted her to be pleased with it and she was very happy. God bless Laura and Diana and Ricky.

Love Those South Carolina Peaches! - I wanted to make a replica of my granddaughter's picture using fusing and fabric painting techniques I learned this summer from Lenore Crawford at the AQS Show in Knoxville, TN.
