Wow! What an incredible piece of art. Not only is it gorgeous in its own beauty, but the use of color…from the fabric choices and incredible use of thread shows the talent involved.

WOW! Incredible. The art promotes emotions, it's very powerful. My non-quilting DILs sister was in Chicago and saw it last week, she sent it to me because she was blown away. She thought quilts were the ones I make for my grands, had no idea of the artistic styles of quilts and how powerful they can be.
