Wall-mounted ceramic quilt; soda fired to cone 7. Porcelain squares are textured and delicately folded to quilt the clay then sewn together with wire. My mother gave me a love for pattern, color & fine craft, teaching me to needlepoint and quilt. Inspired by the Cathedral Window quilt pattern, a favorite or hers, the delicate squares create a reminder that memories can be fragile and elusive but durable representations can be treasured.
