Dawn was getting close to her final composition. Gail’s was ready for stitching. Betty was careful about how she used her printed background fabric and…
Well, I don’t like the taste of tomatoes, but I sure do like the way they look in a quilt. Here’s Vine Ripened, complete. Some detail shots: This was a fun quilt to make. I think it would look great in a dining room. Purchase information on my website. Ellen Lindner
