Sandy Klop was not the only incredible quilt maker/fabric designer at the retreat a couple of weeks ago. Lori Holt was there as well. If you don't know Lori, you soon will.
Lori is not new to the quilt design business. She has been designing incredible appliquéd quilts for over a decade. This is one of my favorites - it's called Grandma's Kitchen. I love all the retro apliances and other comfortable kitchen nostalgia.
Here are some others at a recent trunk show at American Quilting. From left to right: Paper Dolls, Comforts of Home and Family Reunion. Lori's blog has a list of sites where you can order her patterns online. (Look down the right hand column of the blog.)
Here's some of the detail from the Paper Dolls quilt. I can't even imagine possessing the creativity or the patience to create such amazing works. Fabulous.

This is fantastic! I don't have the patience or skills for something like this, but it's absolutely beautiful! <br />Thanks for sharing :)<br /><br />Happy Quilting!

Lori is so super talented! I hope to take one of her quilt classes someday. In the meantime, I'm working on her Woman's Work quilt. That is to say, I have half of the blocks finished, and hope to get back to do the rest soon. My goal is to finish the top by the end of June. Then I have two other of her patterns to do. I'm sorry I missed her trunk show at AQ! Love her new Sew
