Words of Wisdom
Designed by: Nan Losee
Machine quilted by: Patty
Caldwell
Pass along words of wisdom to those
you love when you incorporate meaningful messages into this heartwarming
quilt. Designer Nan Losee began this quilt with the appliquéd
heart squares after learning the idea for using fabric scraps from
quiltmaker Sharyn Craig. Nan started appliquéing and eventually
the idea for the rest of the quilt was born. It was then that she
asked friends what words of wisdom they would give their grandchildren
as guidance through the trials of life.
