BOTANICAL BEAUTY:
This design is a culmination of many
of my designs over the years
(some published, some not).
The 250th birthday felt like the
right time to be 'GRAND'.
This is the biggest, most grand
design I have ever attempted and
I am grateful that you are here
for the journey!
I hope that those of you new to applique'
will give it a try. There are many methods
out there and we will discuss
many of them over the next year.
As some of you may know,
I come from a military family.
After joining the Coast Guard myself,
I met and married my husband then
followed him in his 30 years of service.
We were fortunate to be able to see
a great deal of the country through
our moves, learning the history and culture
of many regions.
It was an honor to be a part of the
Coast Guard and its missions.

As a quilter, I am involved with the
Quilts of Valor Foundation.
The foundation's mission is an
important message to those that
serve our country, you are not forgotten,
you are appreciated.
Why a QAL?
As our country prepares to celebrate
250 years as America, I choose
to celebrate through my design work and
stories about my travels.
I am excited to have you here,
stitching along!

are full sized.
The full pattern will be released

You will need a pattern to participate.

Every month, I will present a block

We will be doing all the discussion
and ooohing/aaahing of
fabric choices in the FB group.
I pride myself on quality (tested)
patterns with full-sized templates
and assembly diagrams.
This is going to be fun!
