A Rose Garden In A Blue Fence

"I began making quilts in 1981. I have been making quilts and teaching quilting ever since. I entered a quilt in the American Quilter's Society contest for the first time in 1993. Since then, whenever I make a quilt, I enter it. I already have seven dogwood ribbons (first place awards). Recently some of my pupils have won awards in Japan and the United States. I'm proud of them."

When Keiko designed this quilt she wanted to add something to the roses. At the time, she saw a picture of French buildings with iron lace at the windows. This inspired her to create the blue fence. It is a lovely way to surround her favorite flowers in her favorite colors.
