from Nestlings By Robin
We are 1 day away from starting
the Botanical Beauty QAL and I

BOTANICAL BEAUTY:
This design is a culmination of many
of my designs over the years
(some published, some not).
The 250th birthday felt like the
right time to be 'GRAND'.
This is the biggest, most grand
design I have ever attempted and
I am grateful that you are here
for the journey!
I hope that those of you new to applique'
will give it a try. There are many methods
out there and we will discuss
many of them over the next year.
As some of you may know,
I come from a military family.

As some of you may know,
I come from a military family.

After joining the Coast Guard myself,

a great deal of the country through
our moves, learning the history and culture
of many regions.
It was an honor to be a part of the
Coast Guard and its missions.
As a quilter, I am involved with the
Quilts of Valor Foundation.
The foundation's mission is an
important message to those that
serve our country, you ...
