My Garden Serendipity quilt won first place in the 2011 Minnesota State Fair as well as first place in its category in the Minnesota Quilters 33rd Annual Quilt Show and Conference. It also won the Capitol City award for small quilt. I adapted Mary Sorensen's Simple Gifts quilt pattern by creating a purple lattice border to frame the needle-turned applique flowers enhanced with beads and the vines, bees, butterflies, dragon flies, snail, grasshopper and frog. This garden serendipity makes me think of spring.
