Artist Commentary

Label

"This original design was inspired by two images I had used before but wanted to use again together. These images are the gloves forming wings and the deviled egg plate (a Southern tradition)." “Deviled and Angel became my 9/11 quilt since I started working on it 9/11/2002, the one-year anniversary of that horrid day. The fortunes remind us what might have been for these many lives that were taken that day.”
