Quilts by Megan Farkas



About

"Creating is a pleasure independent of time; I like to immerse myself in it. Almost everyone asks, 'How long did that take?'
 -- I might be the only person who isn't interested in knowing the answer."



Welcome! Thank you for visiting.
I plan to update this site periodically; in the meantime, work-in-progress and quilt show news can be found at my Facebook page. Visit me on facebook.
