Artist Commentary

Label

"This quilt was inspired by the rambling low growing roses that grow along the seashore. They are white and pink and appear to both grow on the same bush due to their ever entwining vines. My desire to design pieced quilts with many non-traditional angles ended up being my most rewarding challenge. I met that technical challenge by working until I perfected setting in any angle, on any fabric, easily. That knowledge allows me freedom to be creative, to think and design artistically and make quilts from my own designs that are complex yet visually uncomplicated."
