Bee Charmers Garden
by Dorothy Smith

 

LARGE VIEW | DETAIL

It's no wonder this beautiful quilt by Dorothy Smith was selected best of show. The quilt is a testiment to the importance of fabric selection. The muted color scheme was sparked by with richer, more vibrant splashes of red and gold. Dorothy also used a variety of scale in the prints she selected - some florals, some geometrics; some tiny calicos, some larger in scale. The meticulous hand quilting throughout and especially in the wide inner border showed Dorothy's trademark workmanship.
