It's not often that a quilter can combine those feelings into one piece with such artistry.<br /><br />I could say much about Tea and Fields of Gold and other outstanding pieces by the artist, Sarah Ann Smith. I am a hand appliquer and hand quilter who has recently begun using machine techniques for applique and quilting. I have so much to learn; I know practice will help me, though Sarah Ann's book sounds like the perfect guide.<br />Kathleen C<br />villagequilter@gmail.comKathleen Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00006196303709544992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-71025074274107425282009-12-13T00:10:29.000-05:002009-12-13T00:10:29.000-05:00Wow, her Dogwood quilt is just stunning!

I also really like her wheat fields quilt that has been very successful this year. I remember looking at her blog for the first time and going into her gallery. The quilt that still speaks to me is the traditional log cabin (From Sea to Shining Sea), one made from Judy Robertson's (www.justimagination.com) hand painted fabric. I emailed Sarah about this log cabin quilt and told her that this quilt caught my eye - then I read the details, that she used Judy's fabric. Judy is from Washington state (where I live) and that is where Sarah lived before heading to Maine.

In the end result though, "Dogwood: Dawn" won out because I held the challenge in which Sarah Ann Smith's quilt was entered, so I got to see it in person up close and personal, and I remember crying little tears because it was so truly beautiful and so touching in the story.<br /><br />I think this is the best idea that the two of you are supporting each other's books in this way.
