I love the double wedding ring quilt. I don't understand why they
would want the border taken off. That sets it off. I would keep
it to, too much work not to.

For sure, someone gives back a quilt I made, I'm keeping it ... the border was just beautiful and took lots of work. The receiver missed out on an heirloom by McTavish! Priceless gift.

Her mom told her she could make a living doing LA quilting, and Karen did, but only after a long learning curve and her own inventivness! And now...the rest is history. So here are some pictures. I asked her if I could post them, and she gave me permission.


Peggy, Thank you so much for sharing your day with Karen McTavish and her ultra, wonderful and creative quilts. This was so awsome. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
