Somewhere in the post I had a couple questions... sorry I didn't answer them sooner.
McTavishing~ is the "S" shaped lines that are echoed around an applique in this quilt. It is a wonderful technique I was taught by Karen McTavish. (You can google her name) Our Gammill Dealer brings in great artists, and I have been able to take several classes over the past few years. Karen was a fun one to learn from, so talented.
The book pattern is called Garden Gatherings by Lisa Bongean, it is a wonderful BOM pattern.
So thanks for looking! I love reading these "stories of your lives" And see the joys and sorrows.
Enjoy the Art!
