Traveling to the International Quilt Festival in Long Beach in July 2020



My quilt “Meditation Light” is traveling to International Quilt Festival in Long Beach, CA July 9-11, 2020...or at least that is what I am hoping given the current coronavirus pandemic.


This piece was inspired by summer vacations on Kelley’s Island in Lake Erie.  

Lake Erie is one of the five Great Lakes. It shares an international border with Canada. 

Kelley’s Island is the largest island in the U.S. waters of Lake Erie. 

As a child, I learned to swim, fish, and canoe there.  My brother and I would hop on our bicycles in the morning and not return until sunset.

It was a carefree time. 

Nowadays I still go there, but much less often. 

When I sit on the shore I am one with the Universe marking the passage of time by the position of the sun setting on the horizon.
