"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 !!!
