Susan Rossi drew my name for a Christmas gift exchange and made the compasses and set them in the center. I added the border, appliquéd leaves and quilted it.

Outstanding Miniature Quilt
Primrose
Jane Holihan

This quilt was inspired by an antique quilt. It is extremely handsome with original appliqué and quilting designs. It has embroidery and the quilting is enhanced with trapunto.

In Oregon fisherman thrill to see the seasonal river run of spawning salmon and trout. Now my fisherman can see them all year around. Soft-edge appliqué, free motion quilting complemented by traditional piecing in background.
