Cloud Dancer Quilt Pattern - An Arlene Walsh Design, Southwest Pattern, Fused Applique

Cloud Dancer - 37-1/2” x 43-1/2” 

The name says it all with this project. Primarily pieced with a few applique accents, this wall-hanging soars to new heights portraying an eagle in southwest tones. Beyond the salute to native people, this graceful bird reflects majesty and pride for all times. Use Southwest tones, or patriotic fabrics, to make this piece your own original piece of textile art.  

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.
