Artist Commentary

Label

"Flower of Life is 'who I am.' Its symbolism includes the fleur-de-lis, meaning 'flower of life' thus lending the quilt its name. The double golden Celtic ring symbolizes family and the unity of marriage; the knots in the cording loops symbolize good luck. I consider myself a teacher first and a quilter second."
