Lisa Jenni sent this photo of her quilt, made from a Piece O’ Cake pattern, Garden Blooms.
She says:
Many years ago, you taught an appliqué class at Block Party Quilters in Issaquah. I was one of your students, and still to this day, I’m one of only two persons who finished their appliqué and the resulting quilt. In the attachment you see my quilt “Botanica”.
I hope you like my version of your flowers (I do!), in a totally unusual setting. The background fabric is a hand-dyed from Judy Robertson. All orange veins and leaves are pieced varieties of silks. My quilting is split into hawaiian-style hand-quilting at the yellow flower’s background, and lots of machine quilting for everything else.
The quilt has traveled to two quilt shows. It placed 1st in “Quilts from a Pattern” and an Award of Excellence in “Domestic Machine Quilting” at the La Conner Quilt & Textile Festival (2014). In January 2015, the quilt was awarded 3rd place in “Innovative Wall Appliqué” at Road to California.
Way to go, Lisa!
WOW!!! What a beautiful interpretation. I can’t stop looking at it. I love the colors, I love the 3d effect, and I love that background fabric. How incredibly creative. Great Job!!!!

Congratulations, Lisa! Then, that means your quilt was hanging next to mine, “Strawberry Thieves,” at Road. What a coincidence! I love your colors, everything about it!
