This pattern by Susan Garman took Ann-Marie seven years to complete. In the quest to get this UFO done, she omitted her last row and did a reverse couching computerized embroidery pattern. There are 142 handmade ornaments and too many rhinestones to count in this award-winning quilt. The kit was bought right after losing her whole house in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge November 2016 wildfire. While listening to holiday music over the years, Ann-Marie was inspired by Dolly Parton’s song to complete this as a holiday quilt of joy and sparkle!
