Lone Sentinel Quilt Pattern - An Arlene Walsh Design, Southwest Pattern, Fused Applique

The Lone Sentinel - 16” x 31” 

The mighty Saguaro, the giant in the forest of the desert – classic admired flora, home to many small and large creatures of the desert. Make your own fabric art depicting this mighty tree, frequently the lone watchman in a slice of desert. Make as shown, or embellish, or reflect the changing seasons of the desert in a series of these guardians – the choice is yours and the final product always original.  

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.
