This piece ...Thank you all for the lovely comments. This piece was done in early 2008. I began my series of whole cloth pieces in April of that year. <br /><br />It has been in a number of shows and is one of my DH's favorites. Once while it was gone he threatened that if I did not fill the space with something else, he was going to put up NASCAR posters. <br /><br />Fortunately, I have created other work and so has he, so no worry about the posters now. <br />NancyNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05025141996936933302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575160302983217980.post-6952160778863810302010-08-29T13:49:56.191-04:002010-08-29T13:49:56.191-04:00Congratulations on the Best of Show Award, Nancy. ...Congratulations on the Best of Show Award, Nancy.

I looked at the original site but don't remember her posting you piece. <br />My son is a Botanist and an Entomologist and he has the same kind of eye for finding interesting species.

I never find them. Some see those little nuances, some of us do not. <br /><br />Susan gave me a four leaf clover on my birthday in March and it was still living in August and had grown roots. Wonder if it would have produced more 4 leaf clovers? <br />Thanks for checking out my blog and leaving a comment. <br />NancyNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05025141996936933302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575160302983217980.post-78414125892981884442010-08-28T19:15:07.717-04:002010-08-28T19:15:07.717-04:00Beautiful Quilt!

Well done, and Bravo!<br /><br />The story of the plant is quite interesting, too. It is amazing that new species are still being found. I just read a book with my kids called "The Evolution of Calpernia Tate" in which a little girl and her grandfather discover a new plant... I believe in either Arkansas or Alabama... lovely children's tale and award winner, too.Vivikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13605674432255109484noreply@blogger.com
