This all started with some friends dragging me into a quilting store. We all got so enthused about the beautiful quilts hanging on display--real works of art--that we urged each other to buy quilt patterns. My friend Gretchen bought the Dancing Chickens pattern. Similarly inspired, I purchased the Cobbled Crow design, got the material, and actually made the wall hanging.
There was quite a bit of hand-dyed batik left over--too much to throw away. So I decided to make a coat for myself using the same design elements.
And still some of the gorgeous material remained so I decided to hand quilt a saddle pad for Blessi. You can judge the results for yourself. So far, I haven't found any venue good enough for this saddle pad but something will come along.
