Artist Statement/ Description/ Method: My mother introduced me to drawing rangolis. I remember her creating amazing patterns by joining dots in a particular fashion. One of the patterns that seemed like magic to me was the Hridaya Kamala pattern. In this rangoli, a beautiful and intricate lotus shaped pattern emerges when the rangoli dots are radially joined. My mother told me that drawing this rangoli helps open our hearts like the petals of a lotus and usher in good health and success. I had always wanted to create a quilt with this pattern in my mother's memory, but I never got around to starting it.

Artist Statement/ Description/ Method: This quilt represents the friendship among a group of quilters from Detroit, Michigan, USA. We are a group of 20 quilters who during the Christmas season get together and do a block exchange on a pre-fixed theme. The theme was ‘Flower’ for this quilt. My friends have employed various techniques like applique, paper piecing, embroidery etc. Each person made 20 of the same blocks and in the month of December we exchanged these blocks so that we had 20 different blocks of the flower theme. During this meet, we shared a meal and talked about the block and decided the theme for the following year! Putting this quilt together has given me a lot of joy as I got a chance to relive those moments, I spent with my friends.
