Quilted fabric

"My artwork depicts the love of God as described in 1 Nephi 11:25, where the tree of life is described as a representation of the love of God. The techniques include hand and machine piecing, hand and machine appliqué, three-dimensional appliqué, machine quilting, and application of antique buttons from my mother’s button box. The materials are silk and mixed-blend fabrics, cotton batting, and Sulky quilting thread."
