From Lori’s Notebook

  • Judith’s Seasons – Spring

    This is the second of four posts showcasing a series of quilts I’m making for Judith and her family in Cologne, Germany. The series is based on the four seasons, with each season consisting of one wall hanging and one large bed quilt.

  • Ellie’s Spirals
