<p><strong> PAINTBOX by Loni Rossi and Andover Fabrics.</strong> These fabrics have a metalic thread running through them.<br />
The hand-painted fabrics Lonni Rossi creates combine her love of communication through typographic design and the written word, with textiles and quilt-making. The meanings of each typestyle, word, letter, motif or color she uses in her work are completely personal.</p>
<p> <img src='http://quilted-cottage.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/coverlette-to-use.jpg' alt='coverlette-to-use.jpg' /><strong>Coverlet</strong> by Blank Quilting. Designed by Mary Koval, another of her great reproduction fabrics.</p>
