Artist's Statement:

Based on the time honored traditional quilt pattern, the Double Wedding Ring, I created my own version. Using Sizzix dies and text fabric from my own line, I inserted words into the rings that to me encapsulate the story of true love in my own life. The quilt is inspired by "Two Weddings and an Amish Quilt" 1955 by Elizabeth Ann Miller Bontrager.
