Let's all take a moment to say, "WOW"!
This is just a short little blog post to show you some quilty eye-candy! I just wanted to show off this gorgeous elephant art quilt made by Darlene Determan. This is an original art quilt and there is no pattern for sale.
I am a lucky girl. I get to see quilts like this in person when my Mom (the amazingly talented Kristy of Wolf Creek Quilting) is quilting them.
