"In The Jungle" was made by Catherine Redford for her solo exhibit, "Trip Around the World in Folk Art Stitches".

After teaching embroidery in Portland, the organizers of that show asked Catherine if she'd be interested in having a solo exhibit. Of course, she said yes, and after giving them a title for the show and figuring out how much space she had to fill, Catherine set off to work. She made ten quilts for the exhibit, which was called Trip Around the World in Folk Art Stitches, of which In The Jungle was one of them. The ten quilts were inspired by folk art around the world, with the art being anything from painting, to pottery, to textiles. After finding designs she liked, she reproduced them in stitches and made ten quilts. In The Jungle was inspired by the Mayan ruins in Belize.
