“Women -Together We Are More” - “Juntos Somos Mas”
I grew up in a family of quilters and tea drinkers. The childhood memory of
my grandmother, mother and aunts stitching, sipping tea and sharing stories
has been resting patiently in my storehouse of memories waiting to emerge. Tea
bags that were saved for me by female friends triggered these memories and
inspired my version of a quilt combining the tea bags, handmade paper and
worry/dream dolls from Guatamala. The theme is women supporting women and
“together we are more.” I am blessed to be living in a town of strong, caring
women ready with supporting hands and hearts whenever needed. These pieces are
my tribute to such women all over the world.
