I just completed two more small quilts for donation to the Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative — a great charity that I strongly support since my parents both suffered from Alzheimer’s.

My mother was an avid gardener, a writer of gardening books and an award-winning photographer. While I didn’t inherit her gardening talents, I did start taking photographs at a young age.  Both quilts are based on photos that I took of flowers in my back yard.  I edited the photos to remove some of the detail, then I had them printed on fabric.

Daylily is about 8 by 6 inches. 

Coneflower is about 10.5 by 8.5 inches.  I really like this flower because it’s a bit different with its yellow-green tipped petals.
