Description:

Perseverance is key in any task we take on. Whether it is doing the dishes, finishing a quilt, or even just going about our daily lives. Old Timer by Suzan Engler is a reminder of that perseverance. "Old age is not a disease - 'it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses.' - Maggie Kuhn" Winning an Honorable Mention in Surface Design at Houston 2017, Suzan uses the image of an old cow, having weathered through life but still standing, to represent this feeling. Using professional fabric printing and photo manipulation, she brings her quilt to life with a spring in its step.
