Issue 68, A Needle Pulling Thread - Inspired by Geometrics

You can also purchase the print version at newsstands and specialty shops near you.

This wonderful, Canadian publication is full of inspiring projects and I’m thrilled that my quilt, Desert Dawn is one of them! 

We were given the prompt of "Inspired By Geometrics" as the starting point for our submissions.

I've always loved science, art, and ancient history so I chose the geometry and mysterious nature of the pyramids as my inspiration for this quilt.

I hope that you enjoy making the Desert Dawn quilt and remember, I love to receive photos of your work!
