A Winter View By: Debbie,
South Carolina, USA
I loved the striking graphic effect of this pattern from Quilter’s World 2009. The cardinal is my symbol of hope, so this pattern called to me. It reminds me of the view from my kitchen window in winter. I rarely follow a given pattern, but I only added a couple of extra cardinals.

After the Harvest By: Lisa Quintana,
Ohio, USA
