ReplyDeleteIt WAS a lovely show to spend time wandering through . . . your photos are WONDERFUL btw. Love how you are taking info from the show book and adding it to the quilt descriptions here!
ReplyDeleteI love the "Floral Applique" quilt with its bright colors. I haven't see Nancy Pearson's name for a long time. I used to belong to the same quilt guild as she did. Her patterns were very nice.
