Finally...

I wanted to share a picture of my first "art" quilt that I made for my niece, Melissa. She is an Edgar Allen Poe fan and I was told her favorite color was purple. The pieced background is predominantly purple batiks and hand dyed fabrics. The tree and raven were appliqued on the top. It was quilted by Jan Hickman and I asked her to quilt "Nevermore" onto the trunk of the tree. I was encouraged to try something besides a traditional quilt by my fellow quilters in the Renegades which is an art quilt group that I was invited to join last year.
