I had a great deal of fun collecting botanicals...

painting fabrics and setting them out 

in the sunshine...

to create these sun prints...

My favorite part of any quilt is...

the machine quilting!

I do love yummy thread work...

The border fabric is a hand dye

created by Vicki Welsh

This quilt was a treat from start to finish!
