The Alliance for American Quilts held a competition titled "Animals We Love" and auctioned the quilts online last month. This quilt won the competition and I won the bid for it.
"Giraffe Nocturne" Nancy S. Brown - Oakland, CA 2015 15.5"W x 15"L
Nancy does exquisite hand applique and specializes in images of animals. She made this statement about her quilt: "I love giraffes and based this quilt on a giraffe that lives at the Oakland Zoo. Giraffes only sleep about two hours a day - usually for about five minutes at a time - so they are awake most of the night. I thought this one might enjoy the cool evening air and the light of a full moon."
What great detail she has in the eyes.
Those funny nostrils that giraffes have.
Nice label with contact information.
The back has a matching 4 inch sleeve.
