9-PATCH QUILTS


Among traditional quilt designs, the 9-Patch is one I have most often explored.

Council of Six 73x71”
Poets suggest birds are spirit messengers at times bridging inner and outer realms of experience, one informing the other to benefit the Whole. The layers in this quilt reference waypoints and touchstones -- a gathering up of life events, daydreams, and places of solitude. Recalling them involves a synthesis of known/unknown, reality/imagination.


Earthwatch 72x55”
Earthwatch grew out of concern about environmental destruction in general and by that of modern warfare in particular.  The stunningly beautiful planet Earth is the ‘living ground’ for one and all.   War upends things, with places on Earth sometimes referred to as killing zones as a result. This piece is in a Green Quilt registry.
