Artist's Statement:
It was already May, and I love baskets and basket blocks. I've tried many and particularly liked this one, called Grape Basket by its original nineteenth-century (and almost without saying, unknown) maker, for its simplicity. And I'm passionate about red with black and white prints. It all came together nicely but cried out for some bling. Hence the deep dive into my bead and sequin boxes. I sewed while Nikki, my beloved daughter-in-law, sorted colors!
