The minute we were shown to our table at the mercado del puerto last saturday, this little number caught my eye. For me it had so much going for it – fur trim, metallicised looking quilted fabric, and a different clearly fake fur panel down each side. What you can’t see is the jungle print hood lining! I didn’t want to disturb the sizeable table of Brazilian tourists as I don’t even muddle through in Portuguese, so I opted to turn off the flash and set my camera on our table pointing her way.

The five pointed star is one shape I have always loved – and include it in some of the material I am teaching in my workshop “Quilting With An Attitude” in Longmont, N.Colorado, on sat. 24th of this month. (for further information contact me direct, or Front Range Contemporary Quilters) Nice to see this one used in an all-over pattern.
