Hello! Thank you for visiting my website. I am an American-Irish living in Ireland. This is one of my favorite quilts called “Inspired by Portual” which I made after a trip to Lisbon in 2024. I gave my friends fabric and a postcard with examples of Portuguese tiles, and everyone made different blocks. I set the “tiles” into a shadow box, and Paula Rafferty professionally quilted it on her longarm machine. I entered it into the 2024 Birmingham Festival of Quilts and 2024 River of Dreams quilt shows.
