Here is my latest commission The Seven Continents (70" x 40") . Starting from left to right: North America (Pioneer Valley, MA), Asia (Korea), South America (the Amazon), Africa (Kilimanjaro), Australia (Ayers Rock and coral reef), Europe (Innishmore, Ireland) and Antarctica. A few of these scenes are personal - the Oxbow as seen from the top Mt. Skinner, the Amazon where my sister spends her summers tracking monkeys, the coral reefs of Australia that my Uncle studies and the beaches where my grandparents wintered and the cliffs of Innishmore where I dangled my feet in 1991, the year I spent criss-crossing Europe.
This quilt was extremely challenging. Not only did I have to pick the scene for each continent, but I had to really work hard to make the seven continents flow together in a way that made sense both in terms of composition and color.
The client told me she had fun watching the process and I am happy that I could finish it within a few months.
