Hippen listed times when she felt inspiration from God through the love and service of others. She wove 17 small pieces that honored those moments. Eager to share the experience with others, she asked 14 friends to do the same. In this collective work, you see 28 testimonies of God’s love found through struggle. Titles of the small pieces include Sealed, He Knows My Name, and He Found Me on the Bathroom Floor.
“We came to learn of God’s love for us and that we weren’t alone.”
