Mesilla Quilt Pattern - An Arlene Walsh Design, Southwest Pattern, Fused Applique

Mesilla - 25” x 26” 

Three traditional clay pots (in your selection of colors) are in the foreground of this project depicting pueblos in the distance – one can almost envision the river flowing at the viewers feet in this dimensional wall-hanging. With wood beams and ladders, the pueblos are distant yet clearly visible due to the scale in this portrait of traditional southwest living. Finish your personalization of this piece with the embroidery embellishing the pots.  

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.
