Pink Dogwood

This quilt was designed for a challenge my longarm guild issued in 2006. This is my second attempt at whole cloth. I asked my friend, Pattie, to draw a dogwood flower branch for me. After I quilted it, I was unhappy with how bland the flowers looked so I started shading them in with fabric ink. I stopped about halfway through because I am not a painter, so I asked Pattie to paint everything that would be alive. It is gorgous.
It has won four blue ribbons, a Judges choice ribbon a Viewers Choice ribbon a 3rd place ribbon and Best Machine quilting. Not bad for a quilt I made a mess of.
I gave this quilt to Pattie for her birthday in 2007.
