Stars, Stripes & Stitches

Stars, stripes and stitches come together in a patchwork map of home: Maine's lighthouse and lobster, a Georgia peach, a Mardi Gras mask and saxophone over a Louisiana gator, and a Texas star above the bluebonnets, each state filled in like an appliqué quilt.

It's for the quilter who loves where she comes from, or who is collecting every state she has sewn her way through. Home, it turns out, looks best in appliqué.
