Artist's Statement:

I have no children of my own. But I was lucky to marry a man with six grown-up children and in the last 33 years they have given me 16 grandchildren and great grandchildren. When I was interviewed for QSOS for the Alliance I chose my quilt Grandmother's Lullaby for the example of my work. For this small work I began the composition with a fragment from that quilt printed on fabric. From that I built a new composition showing all 16 of them.
