Floral Improv in Portland
The ladies of the Columbia River Gorge Quilters, in Portland, OR, really excelled at creating Floral Improv pieces. These are just a few of the results.
Tomme Fent used a vibrant palette that really made her flowers POP!
Ginger Hartnett’s poppies were really enhanced by her contour stitching. Don’t they look 3D?
Ronda Griffin’s piece has a lively, happy vibe. Nice!
Beth Harkenrider’s poppies were so dark that we decided to highlight them with white stitching, rather than black. I think it worked well and her piece has a wonderful sense of mystery.
Daera Dobbs’ flowers have a lot of energy!
She liked the process so much that she made a second piece later. I take that as a compliment!
I had a fantastic time with these ladies!
Can you believe we accomplished all of this via Zoom? It worked great. Maybe your guild would like to give it a try. See more info.

Super fun and this was the first class in a long time, where I finished the project and didn’t create another UFO. Thanks for teaching our Guild participants.
Hi Ginger,
I’m so glad you enjoyed the class. You did great work!
