Dandelions Quilt

 I've always been drawn to 

Traditional Quilts

and loved roaming that section

of the Quilt Show

at International Quilt Festival/ Houston

 Dandelions

by Kathleen McLaughlin

Groton, Connecticut

Quilted by Debbie Loeser

is a beautiful example of a

Fan Quilt

     Kathleen used

Contemporary and Ethnic fabrics 

from

Japan, India, Africa,

Australia and Indonesia.

For techniques,

she wrote:

"Hand Embroidered, hand applique,

foundation pieced, used

Texture Magic

to create orange circles.

I was especially interested in seeing Kathleen's use of

Texture Magic

When I worked for Superior Threads

I helped introduce and launch

this product to quilt stores.

A very fun interfacing type fabric

that crinkles up and

shrinks when steam is applied.

Beautiful!
