I was inspired by Donna J. Deason-Rehman's quilt, "Transformation". The dormant tree on her quilt seems to explode with butterflies. The tree returns to life after the long winter. My "Inspired By" version was created while on a fiber art retreat in Florida on the first day of spring. The butterfly is a joyful reminder of the renewing of life and is the symbol of resurrection. As a Christian, my hope is in His Resurrection.
