Cathy says of her quilt, Home!, "There aren't many things more beautiful than a finely tooled western saddle. I wanted to create that look with quilting. The leather is quilted, then dyes are used to achieve the desired tooled look. I used actual western conchos on the saddle and studs on the hat brim. I love the raw edges of the hides and try to incorporate them into my designs whenever possible."

Techniques: Painted, Shaded with Leather Dyes, Quilted
