    Default Donna's Caribbean Dreams

    My friend Donna and I shared many adventures on her 44 foot sailboat in the Caribbean. I wanted to make her a quilt that would bring back those memories. Her favorite colors are turquoise and purple, the color of the sea and of the islands at twilight. The quilting panto is called Ocean Froth. Her birthday is next week, and I can't wait to give it to her.
