“Evening Solace”

Life Time Quilt Series 8pm

12 x 20

 

This is a portrait of my 87 year old mother-in-laws

hands reflecting all the things she has done. Never

idle, her hands glow from sunset light.  They rest on

Nebraska from an old ‘states’ quilt; the state in

which she has lived her entire life.

 

Newest work ~ “Evening Quilters” and “Evening Solace” both from the Life Time Quilt series
