Her flare for fashion with cloche hats, bobbed haircuts and drop-waisted dresses made her stand out in every photograph. The addition of hand appliquéd circles is a tribute to my mother Pearl who lovingly taught me how to sew."

What excellent and witty quilting. I love the C R MacIntosh roses on her cheeks - a new interpretation of rosy cheeks.

This is a fabulous quilt. The fact that it was done on a domestic machine is very impressive.

I’d like to know what program it was designed in, if any.
