"Gail's Garden" is a quilt that Sharon Pederson made in collaboration with her daughter Gail, the quilt's namesake.
One day Sharon's daughter Gail, who is also a quilter, came to visit her while she was working on a stained glass flower block and asked her if she would teach her how to make it. Sharon happily obliged and Gail went home and made two more stained glass flower blocks. Those blocks, along with Sharon's purple flower block, became Gail's Garden, named of course after Sharon's daughter. Gail did the stitching on her two flowers and when Sharon asked if she could make the quilt a part of her book, Machine Appliqué for the Terrified Quilter, she agreed but only on the the condition that Sharon finish the quilt.
