The Eye Patch Quilt: Cousin!

Lilypad quilt by Marcia Karlin.
Last month I had the opportunity to visit Laura Bernstein, and on top of a fabulous, spiritual visit, I got to see the quilt that started it all.  Marcia Karlin made this quilt of lily pads that Laura purchased from the Chicago Botanical Gardens show and now hangs on her wall.  When we were looking for a textile artist to take on our assignment, it was at Laura's recommendation that we looked to Marcia.
