Johnny's Garden
(29 x 23 inches)
2002
Detail

Each year before Christmas, I raffle off one of my quilts to raise money to buy toys for Toys for Tots. This was the 2002 raffle quilt. The flowers were cut from old clothing. At first, the green leaves were solid green, but looked too stark. I used a silver paint pen to draw on the veins. I also found the background a little too white, so I took a green paint pen and added a bunch of dots. The butterfly is an iron-on patch. It's called Johnny's Garden because a man named Johnny won the quilt in the raffle.
