A neighborhood of homes in various fabrics sprawls across a white background. Koepsell collected fabric with meaning—her mom, sisters, grandmothers, and sisters from her ward gave Koepsell scraps, along with stories of how the fabrics were used. Each handcrafted home is imbued with a divine beauty.

"Being alike unto God doesn’t erase the way He created us, but encourages us to regard our neighbor as having the same divine potential to return to our home in heaven."
