Desert Sky Quilt Fabric Kit and Pattern - An Arlene Walsh Design, Southwest Pattern, Fused Applique

Desert Sky - Available as a Pattern or a Kit - 18” x 24”

Stained glass has texture, movement, and color – making it seem truly alive. Arlene Walsh has captured this dynamic in fabric with her stained-glass wall-hanging Desert Sky. Using her techniques in combination with new products available for quilters, this quilt is so much easier than the stained-glass quilts of ‘olde’. Choose your fabrics then begin your stained-glass quilt journey – don’t be intimidated, Arlene’s patterns walk you through the process so that you complete a marvelous, one-of-a-kind art piece. Bright colors or desert colors work equally well. If you want true ease – purchase a full kit (pattern included) that has all the fabric you will need to make the quilt appear as though sunshine is brightly shining through a stained-glass window.

Create an original fiber art wall-hanging using the detailed patterns and instructions of Arlene Walsh Designs. Employing a variety of appliqué techniques and tools throughout her patterns, Arlene Walsh has translated traditional pen and ink art images to dynamic multi-dimensional wall-hanging quilts and provided you with the information necessary to replicate these striking works of art.

Arlene brings over fifty years of experience in quilt making and design to her patterns. Her personal quilting began to take over when she discovered needle turn appliqué. Soon Arlene was drawing pictures and transforming them into fabric art. In 1994, Arlene Walsh Designs, a quilt pattern company that specialized in Southwest designs, was formed. Arlene has lectured and taught in shops and at guilds across the country.
