I spent a week in Taos in the Summer of 2022 working on a personal project. I wanted to explore the idea of the scraps a quilt maker makes, keeps, and uses.

How small is too small?

I brought very limited materials with me for the retreat, so that I could really focus on that question. Color seemed to be the biggest motivation for each of these pieces. They were all such a joy to make.

No. 5 is filled with the sweetest scraps from a couple of quilts I made this year, solids in my current color palette obsession of violets, mustards, corals.. a tiny remnant of a vintage embroidered napkin, and Liberty of London

Details:

• White frame measures 9.25″ square
• 2″ deep shadowbox
• Block is pinned inside with 4 Victorian era glass head pins onto a background of a textured mustard cotton/linen.
• Clear acrylic front
• Comes ready to hang
