This, of all of your recent work reveals the inspiration you got from the Gee’s Bend ladies. It’s beautiful and evokes so many thoughts about women, domesticity, and especially thoughtful repurpose of materials. I was fortunate to see the Gee’s Bend exhibit several years ago and to hear the ladies sing – I can hear them singing their gospel music when I look at this piece.

Maria, you were right to rip the Unhappy Accident out. Your other layout was better balanced in design. I’ve tried the same thing with my quilts…make a mistake, then think a man on a galloping horse will never notice..but I know it’s there and I know it would bother me forever whenever I looked at that quilt so out comes the stitch ripper and my patience. It’s funny but I have trouble taking the time to mend anything but I’ll make a whole quilt instead. Good luck at the fair. The Adirondaks are beautiful, as were the Alleghany Mountains which I drove through entirely north to south several weeks ago to meet a breeder with a new pup. A four lane divided highway all the way; it was breathtaking. You live in a pretty part of the northeastern US.
