Artist Statement:

This mosaic quilt is representative of the vibrancy, evolution and activity in nature throughout the seasons.

Process

This quilt uses 27 different pieces of fabric – commercial cottons, raw silks, and my own 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.

Artist Statement

Regardless of time and era, women of all ages, life stages and places, experience necessary pressures that find themselves at your feet. An homage to women as caretakers, daughter, wife, mother and all that entails, “Rushing Through My day” is an abstract representation of a familiar story for most women which is triumphantly rushing through and conquering a busy day.
