Shelly made the torch. Barb made the bell. Paulette made the star flag block. I made the red cross and Texas flag blocks.

Thinking Baltimore - Tresa and I hold a retreat the last weekend in February we call The Annual Euphoric Applique and Quilting Getaway. We have participants come from all over the country. Tresa designed the project for 2006 and this is my rendition.
Horn of Plenty for a New Century - I redrafted patterns that first appeared as a series quilt in The Kansas City Star in 1932. Where Eveline Foland defined her images with embroidery, I used applique. So leaves are two fabrics and stems are appliqued.
