Papaver Somniferum, Grace Meijer.
This was one of the quilts from Europe, it was awarded an award of Merit, the inspiration was from paper cut-outs from Mrs. Delany and 18th century lady who began cutting at 72 years of age.
The detail and colours were wonderful.
Passiflora, Lauriane Lucas, inspired by a photograph of an exotic flower.
Another European featured quilt.
Sunflower by Bella Kaplan from Israel, another European entry.
She was inspired by sunflowers in the upper Galilee agricultural are where she lives.
