Asheville, NC quilt show

I thought I'd share photos of my quilts at the Asheville, NC quilt show this past weekend. Both won Honorable Mention ribbons.  Wonderful!  

Ann Becker (who lives in North Carolina) is posing in the photos.  She machine quilted Gardens of Rock, absolutely gorgeous work. (A full photo with description of my inspiration follows).  We collaborated on Greens of June:  I designed the quilt and did the machine appliqué, she did the machine quilting.  This was the first showing of Greens of June.
