Quilt Willow Tree

“I was thinking about metaphors of quilts. A lot about protection. A quilt makes us feel safe and warm. The rows of even stitching showing the passing of time, a meditative rhythm – like quieting and rocking a child. It takes time and patience. I wanted the quilt and the rocking to be one… The warmth and coziness of a sleeping child – the tender connection – these quiet memories exist in anyone who has ever rocked a child in their arms.” – Susan Lordi.
