“Seeing Amish quilts and falling in love with them, I entered the world of quiltmaking with very little sewing experience but a great willingness to learn. In time I moved into the ‘art quilt’ arena and let my imagination go. My goals are always directed toward creating one-of-a-kind images that
portray the natural world and the people who inhabit it.
Many months (approximately 10) of planning and execution went into this piece,” says Denise. “This was my first attempt at a large complicated design and gave me many challenges to overcome. It remains today, the largest art quilt I have made! I consider this work a personal masterpiece in design and color and my workmanship continued to improve as I honed my sewing machine skills daily."
