Artist Commentary

Label

"I realize in looking back that all my creative endeavors have revolved around Color. Mosaics, stained glass, fashions, hooked rugs, and finally – the most rewarding of all – quilting, have as their essence, glorious color. Color, paired with the sensuous quality of fabrics, exerts an irresistible tug on the thousands of us who enjoy making quilt art. In addition to colors and textural qualities, quilts have an added appeal to me- I love it that they serve a functional purpose as well!"
