First needle-turn applique piece, started because my sister encouraged me to. I started cutting abstract shapes and jumped in, quickly becoming engaged with the work.
My second abstract shapes applique quilt, this size baby-blanket-sized. Made throughout a move to the woods, shapes mostly sewn in the car, quilting done on the floor of a new apartment while on the phone with much-missed friends. A quilt marking transition.
