Donna Sereda DeNovo
Alba A portrait of Rosa rugosa 'Alba' which blooms in Donna's garden in summer and stays a-buzz with big,
nectar-drunk bumblebees. Donna tells me that "the success of the quilt is due in large part to my friend,
Amy Climer, who hand-dyed all the fabrics I used for the leaves and some of the petals". |

 The quilt is 22 x 26", made using Upside-Down Applique. The shadowing is done with tulle and thread painting. The center was the most difficult to obtain the dimensionality because the values were so close. | 
Cheryl took Flower Power in the Fall of 2006. She tells us that "I made this rose quilt in memory of my sister who died at age 46; the yellow rose was her favorite. I made it for my mother for Mother's Day." |

Cathy Phillips of Salt Sping Island, BC tells us "I have finished my white lily quilt! I really enjoyed your class on Quilt University and love the techniques you have taught. I quilted it with invisible thread in a free hand leaf pattern. The pink fabric was painted. Method was fusible appliqué. It is an Asiatic Lily from my garden. The quilt is 20" by 24". |
