Artist Statement
Inspired by Like Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. Through abstract representation, this quilt explores the spirit of each season from an emotional level, from bottom to top and back around.
- Winter (cold hibernation)
- Fall (a bit of time for grounding)
- Spring (head in the clouds)
- Summer (warm, connected to Mother Earth)

Process
This quilt uses 20 different pieces of fabric – commercial cottons, raw silks, upholstery and my own hand-dyed and digital fabric. Pieces are cut leaving raw edges and then carefully positioned on a whole piece of interfacing to form the mosaic top. The quilt sandwich is the mosaic top, organic acrylic felt and backing cotton fabric. The sandwich is sewn together using cotton thread and then binded with mitered corners.
