Rachel’s work is characterized by strong visual impact, use of color, complex design and attention to detail. “Breeze is the third quilt in my Simply Sensational Series using architectural settings to highlight each of the five senses,” writes Rachel. “Touch is the only sense that involves the whole body. For this reason I chose a rush of wind through an open window to completely surround the dog with the awareness of this sense.”
