Desert Queen, by Anita Crosby, 2009. Photo by India Brantley.
Desert Queen, created by Anita Crosby, was featured in the August 9, 2009 edition of the Start Your Week With a Quilt newsletter. If you attended the Brown Sugar Stitchers Quilt Show, you saw this quilt up close. It tied for first place in the wall quilt balloting.
The queen’s name is Thea, and she is Anita’s daughter. Thea took a vacation last summer to the United Arab Emirates. This photograph was taken while Thea was out on a camel tour of the desert.

To truly immortalize Queen Thea, Anita printed the photograph on fabric, added decorative borders and machine quilted it. The quilt measures 52 x 52 inches.
I am sure this quilt will become a family heirloom.
