Dimensions: 96 x 96 Artist Statement/ Description/ Method: My mentor n guide Ms.Tina helped me learn this technique n quilted it in her long arm.
I simply love this traditional technique of quilting . I love the colours a tree holds
Just like our life n ones journey throughout life . The new shoots and then the youthful leaves supple n rich in their own hue and finally the pale leaves falling off simply depicting a humans fleeting life. Ancient Indian Scriptures say that one must imbibe a Tree s patience and it’s impartial attitude

Meera Venkitaraman
Country: india
Dimensions: 74 x 74 Artist Statement/ Description/ Method: Glow in the Dark , a minature quilt pattern designed by Jen Daly ,took my attention as i was on the look out for a perfect minature traditional block pattern. This quilt is a GLOW IN MY LIFE,as i overcame many difficulties to complete this beautiful piece. I moved into a new country, and the COVID lockdown started the next day. No machine , very limited fabrics, minimal notions. I introduced myself in the muscat quilters guild and borrowed a machine, and few gave some fabrics!!!! This is my first attempt to do a minature quilt. This has been pieced in Bernina 350, and fully machine quilted. All the pieces are blocked and quilted.
