Snapshot of "Jubilation"

"Jubilation" was part of the Festival of Awareness exhibit at the International Quilt Festival in Houston in October 2015.  This photo is a section of the quilt.  "Jubilation" will travel with the exhibit for a year.  I hand dyed the fabric and free motion quilted it.  Then I painted, sewed, and beaded the flowers.  "Jubilation" was created in celebration of my father's life.  All the flowers in and around our home came from the forests and fields.

I created this piece about two months ago for a dear friend.  Ms. Felecia West had been the head librarian at the Denham Springs/Walker Library since it opened.  She was a great friend of those who loved books and art.  Her fellow librarians asked me to create this piece as a gift from them.  She got to enjoy it before she passed.  She will be greatly missed.  I was very fortunate to have been her friend.  Special thanks to Edie Albe for machine quilting it so quickly.  She made it special.
