Hand painted fabric is considered quite special in the quilting world. In shops around Alaska you may have seen some of Melinda Dale's original designs and patterns, but I doubt you've seen one of her patterns made up with fabric she has hand painted to enhance the mood of Mt. McKinley, nearby ranges, foothills, trees and water in the surrounding area. Have a look! Denali Reflections Designed, pieced, and quilted by Melinda Dale of Willow, AK approx. 18"x20" Background fabric is hand painted This gem, too, will be available for purchase at the Willow Holiday Studio Art Tour on November 22.
