Gloria Hansen is a well known photographer, quilter, web designer, and author. This quilt was in an online auction and I think it is beautiful, despite the pink (which you may know I don't care for), but it is a lovely pink and easy on the eyes. It is heavily quilt with the leaves quilted into the border. Quilts using photographs were not all that common at the beginning of the 21st Century, but now there are any number of artists who use this technique. And, of course, we now have digital printed fabric everywhere, so if you don't do your own photos you can buy yardage with digital images.
"Pink Flowers II" Gloria Hansen 2003 16"W x 17"L
Hand painted cotton fabrics, printed image, machine pieced, fused, machine quilted.
Extending the outlines of the leaves adds depth to the center.
Nice label with contacts and care instructions.

I am a great admirer of Gloria Hansen's talents, in photography and fiber art. I enjoy a similar process I call "Ghost Quilting" in which I start with a square of printed fabric fused to a solid background, then extend the objects from the center with crayons and stitching. The header on my blog is an example of one of these pieces. You can easily see the square and how it has been added to the "ghost area" in the border. What a coincidence!
