    Default Garden of Opportunity
    One of my sisters has just split with her husband. It has been a toxic relationship for a long time so it is really a good thing. But she is having a hard time. My mom suggested I make her a fabric hug to snuggle in. I found this pattern in the magazine "America Makes Fast Quilts" and just fell in love with it. And the pattern name was so appropriate for the situation.

    Quilt Name: Garden of Opportunity
    Pattern: Paradigm Shift
    Batting: Hobbs Heirloom 80/20
    Quilting: Pantograph "Spring"
    Thread: Rainbows #835 Montego Bay
