An applique of a dark and stormy sky has a title that calmly and hopefully references the future: Tomorrow Is Another Day.
Mercy plant dyed damask table linen, cotton thread, 48 x 82 inches or 122 x 208 cm, 2024
The reverse side of the piece is made from three smaller pieces of different-hued damask and is entitled Mercy.
The three pieces of the second side receive the stitches from the first side as if a single original and courageous drawing.
Quilts have two sides and teach us that everything is connected. This piece encourages kindness, forgiveness, courage and hope in dark times.
When you are worried, remember to look at the sky. The answers are there.
Have compassion. Tomorrow is Another Day.
