"'Medieval Morris' has been inspired by the woven 'Dragon and Peacock' curtains hanging in both the Art Gallery of SA and in the dining room at Carrick Hill. The appliqué is suited for beginners and advanced quilters and is suited best to machine work as some of the curves and points are challengingly intricate to do by hand."
-Michele Hill
