January 11, 2012....Crocheted and Quilted Flower Basket

January 11, 2012....My daughter won this beautiful crocheted and quilted flower basket at an Alzheimer's fund-raising quilt auction:


This is what the artist wrote: 

Width: 10" Length: 8"

Designer: Original design

Materials/Techniques: This was a dresser scarf that I re-made into a quilt. It has a lovely and colorful three-dimensional thread crocheted appliqué, machine quilting, a batik piping and a batik backing and binding.

Artist Statement: This quilt is made from an estate sale find - someone worked very hard to make a dresser scarf and I wanted to give it a new life as a Priority Quilt. The workmanship in the thread crocheting is beautiful and deserved to be seen again!

Dedication: To my Dad, who we lost to Alzheimer's on December 14, 2010.
