contributors Nikki Foley


Nikki Foley is a designer from County Kerry who enjoys drawing on Irish symbols and history for inspiration in her designs. In this issue, we complete her Celtic DeSigns, page XX, the last of a six-installment pattern. Also, on page XX, Nikki gives us her version of Saint Brigid’s Cross.


Monique Dillard


With fond Irish holiday memories, Monique Dillard is a Canadian living in America. A regular contributor, Monique gives us Fields of Green, pattern on page XX, in this issue. For many years, Monique has been nurturing her passion for quilts through her design business, Open Gate Quilts.


Romi Buhles


Romi Buhles is a regular contributor also from County Kerry. When she is not designing patterns, Romi is busy working the longarm quilting machine. In this issue, she shares her I Had a Dream pattern on page XX.


Oops! Recently on Volume II Issue 4, we printed Romi’s surname as Buhler. We apologise; her name should correctly read as Buhles.
