Heaven and Nature Sing by Ellen Born, quilted by Sharon Elsberry
(Arizona, U.S.A.)

Ellen writes, "Over 2 years in the making, this McKenna Ryan quilt [pattern] was enriched with Sharon Elsberry's quilting! I was so happy to hang it for Christmas."  Ellen's work shows the animal kingdom happily playing on a snowy winter's day. In this scene of 6 panels, you'll find black bears, cardinals, a bluebird, a family of deer with their little fawns, a fox, a racoon, a moose peeking in from the side; and of course, Santa with a sleigh full of toys and 8 tiny reindeer.

Ellen's fabulous applique work is complemented by the lovely batik fabrics in various shades of spruce green, cranberry, teal, aqua, icy blue, plus orange and red for Santa's sleigh. We congratulate Ellen on the completion of what is sure to be a treasured heirloom to be enjoyed each Christmas season and into the New Year  for all the years to come !
