Shark Bait

Quilt as you go. Two-and-a-half-inch strips. Prairie points. Fusible applique. Plush fabric stuffed with scraps. Only Angela Huffman could combine these elements from a quilter's tackle box of techniques, and reel in a cat bed... shaped like a shark.

Forest & Flowers

Angela Huffman has long been fascinated by the artistic power of sashing.
