Pattern


Celtic DeSigns Designed and Made by Nikki Foley


Each Celtic Tree/Zodiac Sign represents a given tree, a letter of the Ogham alphabet, a Guardian Animal, a Celtic God and other items such as gemstones.


Our designer Nikki has created a quilt comprising each animal in a block to represent each Celtic Zodiac. The sign and its description, corresponding with each block, was kindly permitted for use by Avia Venefica (www.whats-your-sign.com). In addition, some drawings have been adapted from the Complete Book of Celtic Design, a pattern book from Gill & MacMillian, Search Press Ltd.
