After I retired in 2000, I went to Lorene's small farm house in Little Flock, AR, every week for 5 years. She mentored me in the fine art of combining fabrics. Despite very different styles, she was a romantic and loved florals; we worked together well. These are all beautiful. The blended quilt is especially remarkable. If you have tried this, you know how hard it is to do well. These pictures were taken in Nora's Quilt Shop in Tulsa, OK. Lorene died this year, and Nora was very frail, when I last saw her; but their teaching and mentoring continue to support the tradition in NW Arkansas, and Tulsa, as well as Western Washington.
