Our Doreen has been working on a project of a little while. Perhaps you can’t tell from the photo but this crest has been appliquéd onto the background fabric. Doreen is one of the most patient quilt makers we know. She has put several hours into this particular project. We believe the plan is to add borders to this piece and we hope to be able to bring you another progress report in the near future. Well Done Doreen, keep up the great work.
