INTRODUCING: PINE SHADOW

MADE IN THE MOUNTAINS, FOR THE MOUNTAINS

All proceeds from pattern sales through December 31, 2024 will be donated to ArtsAVL Emergency Relief Grant Program for artists impacted by Hurricane Helene.

Pine Shadow is an on-point quilt with a bold, geometric modern design.

Inspired by the pine trees of Western North Carolina — the pine cones, held sideways, cast shadows that remind me of light and dark half-square triangles.

Skill Level: Confident Beginner

Sizes: Baby, Throw, Full, and Queen
