The Clackamas Iris

Please supply a few brief highlights regarding your quilt. For example, "This is a stunning whole cloth quilt embellished with beads and hand embroidery."

Ann writes about the flower in her quilt, "There are many unique flowering plants in the Pacific Northwest, among them is the Clackamas Iris (Iris tenuis). This rare iris has narrow petals and leaves, and can be found growing in small clearings one encounters in Douglas Fir forests. Also called a “grass iris” because their leaves grow in dense grass like clumps, these small, spring blooming flowers are easy to miss." If you would like to learn more about Ann P.
