QR Code - Quick Response Code

Have you seen these QR codes around town or in magazines? Ever wonder what they are? The look like futuristic bar codes. A QR code is a matrix barcode or two-dimensional code that is readable by QR barcode readers or smart phones. The information encoded may be text, or URL, or other data.
The QR code below is our website: AuroraQuilts.com. We've posted the QR code on our shop windows, so if we're not there you can scan it with your phone and go to our website.

batiks Circles - Pieced by Ginny R - Quilted by Aurora Quilts

Ginny R. a member of the Cabin Branch Quilters in Woodbridge, Virginia made this batik circle quilt. There are three circles rough edge appliqued one on top of each other. A spectacular quilt all on its own.

Amanda and I quilted the top with a swirl pattern and lime green thread (Ginny's favorite color), which complimented the circles on the top.

The quilt reminded us of crop circles and the quilting helped to accentuate that image in our minds.
