Kathy McCalla also finished her Searching for Beauty quilt—I love the way she combined a traditional setting with the very non-traditional applique designs! Kathy wrote:
I wanted to thank you for your wonderful Covid patterns. I love to applique and this was especially fun to help us remember 2020.
The lock design in the quilting is totally perfect!
I know that at some point the memories of this year will fade (because that’s what memories do) and that these quilts will remind us of what we have lived through to get to the other side.
Kathy, thank you for sharing your lovely quilt with us!
