Amber, our Daughter-In-Law came into our life back in 2006 and in July of 2010 she married our son Brian.
Amber trained as an art teacher and was in the classroom over 10 years, recently leaving the classroom to become an instructional coach. Back in the early days of her teaching I wanted to make something that could be used to decorate her classroom and, of course, it had to be a quilt!!
I had so much fun making this quilt with just a basic idea in mind……
At this stage of my quilting career, I was making quilts that were fairly traditional in nature, never having even thought about making an “art quilt”!! So, I laughingly call this my “First Art Quilt”!!
Fortunately it hasn’t been my last!!!

I can easily how that quilt would be appreciated. It looks great.
