"Many may think of the desert as a plain empty landscape, but I have always loved the desert and it's mysterious surrounding; that emptiness is full of life and rich colors. So when I saw this pattern called "Purple Mountain Majesty" by Ladyhawk Designs, I just had to buy it. The wallhanging measures 16" square, and was tons of fun to make with raw edge applique and free motion stitching, I am calling It "Desert Solitaire."

"This is the first Bargello quilt I have personally designed. I was able to upgrade to Electric Quilt 5. THANKS to the board member who sold me her new copy. You know who you are.....

I found the inspiration to the design by seeing a rough sketch that displayed how to quilt a Bargello quilt. It was also a new challenge to quilt with a border this time. Free motion was MORE difficult than I thought it would be due to my disability. But it is finished. That is all that really counts.

The name of the quilt is "Life is a Roller Coaster". Having to deal with a disability give you a NEW focus on life. But any life has its ups and downs. This quilt will be a surprised gift for a really good friend. It will just be the way I can say thank you for her undying friendship. I made one obvious mistake. I forgot that I used the pastel green on the body of the quilt. After I placed the dark purple bobbin in to stitch the border (free motion sometimes the bobbin pops up), I forgot to put BACK the light green bobbin when doing the remaining stitching on the body of the Bargello. OOPS !!!

Oh, this is going to be way too difficult for me. Will have to give this some serious thought over the next few days.

I just cast my vote. I took an instant liking to one of them so it wasn't difficult at all for me to decide. But they're all charming - some more beautiful, some more fun...
