Anita Crosby created the third place winner in the Best of Show balloting at the 2011 Atlanta Quilt Festival Exhibit. It is called Belly Dancer.
Anita used raw edge appliqué and decorative stitches on a background of hand-painted fabric to create her 16 x 20 inch eye-grabbing quilt. Anita’s daughter Thea, who was taking belly dancing lessons when the quilt was created, was the inspiration of the quilt.
Congratulations Anita, and thank you for sharing your quilt!
