Applique is my Passion

I don't know what took so long.  Usually it doesn't take a month to finish writing a pattern, but I guess I wasn't as focused as I usually am.  The Crows pattern has 17 pages, seven pages of which are of crows drawings and one page of feather drawings for the quilting in the border.   Crows pattern  is up on our website ready to fly to your house as a PDF pattern or a printed snail mailed pattern.

This is the Crows quilt with the appliques sewn through the backgrounds and cotton batting. At this point I have added the backing fabric so the quilting of the backgrounds goes through all three layers.  Each block has a different quilting design.  This is a study in variations of quilting patterns as they relate to my subject matter. All the crows have beaded eyes using  "iris" colored glass beads.
