Materials: Scraps from many of my favorite fabrics, linen fabric, cotton thread, hand pieced and hand quilted, stretched on a wooden frame.

Year Completed: 2023

Dimensions: 6 x 6 x .75”

These fabrics are featured importantly in many of my quilts, including: But, Was That Me?; A Breath Has Four Parts; Meuse, Pandemic, Invisible, Sweetheart.

I began with a quilt-as-you-go approach to piecing this quilt, but ultimately hand quilted it too! The yellow polkadot was a skirt, the green was a hand-me-down dress that I turned into a shirt, the stripe was used to mend jeans for Beau, the yellow grid was a ‘fat quarter’ given to me by my brother, and I’ve used it while teaching with Creativebug and in my vases.
