Description:
I started the first block of this original quilt in 2009 and continued to crate blocks that incorporated the plants and birds of places where my teaching travels had taken me, as well as ones from my own garden. This quilt has also recorded my growth as I challenge myself artistically and technically to create more realism and detail using fabric, thread, hand applique', and hand embroidery.
