Judy and I share the same neck of the woods and I am a loyal fan. Thanks for show casing her work.
ReplyDeleteShe is one of my favorites. Her husband passed away a few years ago, but she remains active in the design world. Thanks for choosing her as one of the "Past Perfect" quilters!
ReplyDeleteLove her fabric, especially the Old Sturbridge lines.

ReplyDeleteSuch a super couple! I used to eagerly anticipate their booth at the Mid Atlantic Quilt Show and was so sad when they stopped going there. It hasn’t been the same without their booth! There is just nothing like seeing the fabric and her samples in person.
ReplyDeleteWow, so beautiful projects and fabrics!!
ReplyDeleteShe was one of the first repro designers to come to my attention, and has remained a favorite over the years!
