Monika, from Germany,has been a QFO customer from the very beginning! She sends us regular updates on her projects. Here are some of the latest.

I've been quilting since 1997 (mostly book taught), and live in Cincinnati.
My real love is hand applique.

This is a library quilt I made 3 years ago as a Christmas present for my sister. She was especially pleased, since she hadn't seen many of the pictures I included in it. There is also a postcard she sent me while vacationing in San Diego; it was printed to fabric and appliqued as though they are peeking out of the "wicker" basket. This was a fun one to do,
following instructions in Wendy Etzel's The Collectibles Quilt.

I was determined I wanted a grandfather clock quilt, but no pattern was available. After visiting several stores, I decided there were so many styles of such clocks, there was no "wrong" way to design one myself! This quilt was completed in January, 1999. The clock face has a tiny inscription,
"Kramer Fine Timepieces," which I wrote with black Pigma pen.
