At first I saw headhunter masks with plumes, like in the old Tarzan movies! LOL But now I’m seeing lovely urns filled with ferns! Much nicer! This is really a beautiful quilt!
A quiltmaker, fabric designer, teacher, and speaker, Mary Elizabeth is also co-author of two best-selling books, “Small Blocks, Stunning Quilts” and “Small Pieces, Spectacular Quilts“. She has been a featured guest on The Quilt Show with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims. And her work has been shown at international quilt shows and featured in many international quilting publications.
Mary Elizabeth believes in “Quilting With Abandon”, stretching traditional boundaries and creating quilts with a subtle salute to the past. She is enthusiastic about our quilting heritage and the lessons to be learned from the antique quilts she studies and collects. Her recent work examines the interpretation of traditional quilt designs through “gestured appliquéd lines” and the quilting stitch.

LOL and at first I saw lobsters!
First flash reaction? Scorpions! But this is a “Christmas” quilt, right? Reindeer faces with big antlers, most certainly!
Hope you are well and enjoying our blustery northern weather. Happy New Year!
