Quilt for Flossie Tripp

In 1997, Patty made her first quilt to celebrate Tom’s parents’ fiftieth Anniversary. At the time it was said that would also be her last quilt. But we’re entitled to change our minds.

To celebrate Tom’s Aunt Flossie’s 80th birthday, on August 18, 2000, Patty made a second quilt.

Over seventy images were processed using Adobe Photoshop®, laid out using Adobe PageMaker®, color laser printed onto transfer paper and pressed onto high threadcount broadcloth. Combined with machine and hand embroidered sections, with some buttons and beads added, the quilt was completed well in advance of the presentation date.
