She Plays With Snakes

Pillow shams for the snake show at the Electric Shed Gallery, Nashville. I altered vintage quilt squares with my hand appliqued snakes. I have heard the vintage squares called both Dutch Girl, or Sunbonnet Sue. I picked them up at an antique store when I first started quilting. I held onto them waiting for the perfect project. I am drawn to the calico prints that look like they have come from a different time. The border fabric came from my calico collection. The quilting stitches are also snakes spreading out across the surface of the fabric.

A few years back my sister-in-law got me started on my first quilt. Ever since then I have been hooked in a big way. Quilting was always an idea that I was attracted to, but hadn't taken the time to dive into. The process takes me to that meditative place that art can bring into your life. I've always been a maker. Making is an important part of life.
