Close Encounter 59" x 59" November 2006 Many techniques employed: Hand applique Machine piecing Maching stitching and quilting Hand quilting Pieced borders Close Encounter was inspired by a challenge from the American Quilter's Society to create an original and innovative design based on the traditional pattern, "Rose of Sharon." I did not finish the piece by the challenge's deadline, but was taken with the design, so completed it nonethe- less. It was been juried into 2007's AQS show and competition in Paducah, KY.
