Quilts of a Winter Menagerie

The six quilts in this book are: Temple of Peace (80.5" x 80.5") ; Mystical Mountains (82.5" x 106.5") ; Earthly Paradise (72.5" x 100.5") ; Hidden Lands (81" x 100.5") ; Sacred Places (65" x 88.5") ; Immortal (67" x 82.5"). From the Introduction: In his 1933 novel, Lost Horizon, British author James Hilton describes Shangri-La as a mystical, harmonious valley, isolated from the outside world. Peace and happiness prevailed throughout the land, and inhabitants lived extremely long lives. I thought this seemed a nice place to end my journey of legendary places. Over the past four years I have presented fabric collections and quilt patterns for Camelot, Avalon, Atlantis, and now Shangri-La. Each of these legendary places inspired me to create a variety of fabric designs and quilts based on the mystique surrounding them. Today various places, from the Sichuan Province to Tibet, claim that Shangri-La once existed within their territories. Who knows what might have been, but no matter where the truth lies, I hope you enjoy the quilts in this book and the fabrics they were created from.
