Gifts from Her Garden was made in celebration of the women in my life and was entered in the 1998 Quilter's Newsletter Magazine "Rhapsody of Roses" contest. It was a finalist and was published in the magazine's January/February 1999 issue No.309. I made Gifts from Her Garden when I only hand appliqued and quilted my quilts. It was one of the first art quilts I added hand painted detail and a discharge technique to. Notice the painted face in the soft pink rose and the greens at the base of the yellow bud that were discharged. The finalists from the QNM contest traveled the USA and were exhibited at the 19thInternational Quilt Festival in Houston, TX, as well as Le Mus�e des Tissus in Lyon, France.
