Shine On Me

Shine on Me (2023) 42” W x 29.5”H

This quilt took its time telling me what it wanted to be, resulting in several false starts, ripping out hours of stitching, lopping off the bottom half of the original quilt and then having to expand it to create the right proportions of the different greens. I spontaneously decided to quilt freehand spirals rather than wavy lines as I had planned. Gradually the yellow arc felt like a band of sunshine, and then I knew that the background spirals should be different shades of floral tones. Once this image became fixed in my mind, creating my imaginary field of flowers brought me so much joy. I felt the warmth of the sun and the glow of flowers.

This quilt is made from three shades of green shot cotton fabric and is covered with freehand stitched spirals using different shades of perle cotton thread. It has cotton batting and backing.

It was juried into Quiltcon 2024 in the Handwork division and into Quilt Visions 2024 at the Visions Textile Museum in San Diego, California.
