Description:
Artist’s Statement: "This quilt was inspired by a Mediterranean cruise. I discovered an amazing carousel on a walk in Marseille. European carousels have extremely intricate designs and landscape paintings on the face of the roof. I used the landscapes to highlight places we had visited, which made this a great memory quilt of our trip. This section of a carousel is typical of that area, with added stories of people in and around it."
