Yes, those are real estrogen patches on the bottom of the quilt - I did this quilt 2 years ago when there was a lot of controversy over hormone replacement therapy (that never changes). If you click on the image, you should be able to read the words stitched sideways and above the flowers.The company that made the patches purchased the quilt, and then gave it as a gift to the nurse practitioner who arranged for their drug rep and I to meet.
Chapter 2 of the story: A doctor from France saw a picture of the quilt at the company's booth at a trade show/medical conference in France - she called her friend in Wisconsin and told her about the quilt - the friend saw a picture of it in my album at a quilt show in Wisconsin -
I'm so glad to be working in this medium!
materials: hand dyed and painted cotton sateen and silk, beads; free motion quilted

Your story embodies one of my mantras, "trust the process".
I can't make out the words...please interpret.
An example of a creative response that took on a life of its own. And, perhaps, of the "six degrees of separation" theory :)
Love the quilt; love the story.
What a wonderful use of non-tradtional materials. Thanks for visiting our neighboring blog. Barbara
