Omacookie- I enjoyed your description of your life and how you portrayed it. Sounds like an artist!
Lynn-I looked at 2 local quilt shops for Asian prints and neither carried any, but this was the closest I could find. I wanted to use them since Kathleen loves them and I hadn't worked with that style of fabric, so it sounded fun. Anyway, the quilt is a picture of "me" in the summer-in my garden. The little squares are all of things you might find in my garden.
Kathleen, can't wait to see what you have made for me! Sounds like I'm a lucky one to get a personal portrait!-
