&lt;span class=&quot;caption-text&quot;&gt;September 2023, 78&amp;#x22; x 78&amp;#x22;, repurposed fabric and thread, hand quilted&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;A Repeated Prayer is a part of a series of quilts on grief. After the complex and unresolved death of a friend, the precise and deliberate work of quilting naturally lent itself as a conduit to process grief. The outside edge is made of approximately 1700 1.25” squares. To create the gradation, I pieced each square one at a time, no shortcuts involved. This quilt is a meditation on devotion, aliveness, and the process that is grief. In art and life, things take as long as they take.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;It is so painful to feel alive when a loved one is gone. There is such sorrow and joy of remembering loved ones. To Feel Alive tries to capture the immense and expanded pain and aliveness a grieving body can hold.&lt;/span&gt;</image:caption>

&lt;br /&gt;Inner knowing and at-home-ness are the themes behind this piece. This quilt symbolizes both the challenging intention to carve space for the self and also the joy found in moments of discernment, the gold in realizing what our body already knows to be true. &lt;/span&gt;</image:caption>

&lt;span class=&quot;caption-text&quot;&gt;June 2024, 90” x 90”, repurposed fabric, long arm machine quilted&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;This piece holds grief, the invitation of loved ones no longer here into my studio space, the question of motherhood, and ultimately, transformation. There is so much uncertainty. And, when I create, I feel very sure about what is right in front of me. I love that this process holds the duality of a question and the knowing response, and also opportunities to be bold in my knowing. The moment we decide to use neon yellow thread, and I feel unsure about it at first because it’s neon yellow, and then say “actually I am sure” and something shifts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

                                            <image:caption>Just A Quilt&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;caption-text&quot;&gt;May 2024, 66” x 66”, repurposed  fabric, hand quilted&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Just a Quilt” is about contemporary craft liberation.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
People have asked “are you now a textile artist?” An artist saw my work and critiqued “these are just quilts.” I am an artist and I continue to make quilts because they offer something canvases never could: I work unconstrained by a canvas size, using accessible and repurposed materials, and gain clarity through physically interacting with my art. Quilts offer viewers portals to consider their most human needs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Quilting has been a transformational art practice: I shape a material and the material shapes me. Quilts live in the queerness of a medium that is multiple things at once, fine art and contemporary craft and mental health care and community care, and also none of those things at all, “just” a quilt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</image:caption>

                                            <image:caption>Alchemy of a Spirit &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caption-text&quot;&gt;March 2024, ~75&amp;#x22; x 75&amp;#x22;, repurposed fabric and thread, long arm machine quilted&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Metal is the element of precision, and also of letting go, grief, and transformation. The deliberate fabric piecing of Alchemy of a Spirit helped me continue to process my grief, alchemizing the relationship I have with my beloved friend’s spirit. I also noticed a difference in my own spirit; I could finally invite my friend into my studio space. Just as alchemy can occur in both physical and metaphysical forms, so too can quilts hold both a body and spirit. The tiny triangles resemble butterflies and also hourglasses, liberation and time.&lt;/span&gt;</image:caption>

&lt;span class=&quot;caption-text&quot;&gt;August 2023, 80&amp;#x22; x 80&amp;#x22;, cotton fabric and thread, long arm machine quilted&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A traditional “Lady of the Lake” pattern includes a pinwheel motif, the first pattern I learned from my grandmother over 20 years ago. I don’t know what she would have thought of my 90 degree turn, removing the pinwheels. She passed away in 2007, the day before I turned 19. I wonder how she stored her fabric and how she managed to make baby quilts for all the babies and what she would think about the baby quilts I make now for the babies and whether or not she would have liked my “Lady of the Lake&amp;#x27;&amp;#x27; edit. The moment I rotated the squares felt like a truer honoring of my grandmother’s craft and my own. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;The blues in this quilt are the playground, baggy blues I wore growing up. And the sawtooth edges are my fire and pointy chin and my dark red wedding dress. The navy floral border is the elegance I got from my mother as I spread mulch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;I am a lady of the lake. Well, I am the lady of some lakes, on most days. I am also the tomboy of the garden. And grandmother of the river and to all my friends. And undecidedly a mother, but definitely a king. This quilt is my gender, an amalgamation of ongoing preferences, and a realization of why my name as my pronoun feels right, at least on this swim in this lake with this lady. &lt;/span&gt;</image:caption>

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;caption-text&quot;&gt;10.5” x  10.5”, sewing machine pieced, repurposed cotton fabric&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;caption-text&quot;&gt;This is a square block I made for &lt;a href=&quot;https://euphoriaquilt.substack.com/about&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Euphoria Quilt&lt;/a&gt;, a community quilt on gender expansive joy. My gender expansive joy began to grow around the same I started gardening. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;I used to be overwhelmed by the garden - so many weeds! - but I decided I wanted to make something beautiful. I upturned everything, found resilient gems that had survived neglect, learned their names, and added nutrients. I discovered that I like gardening! I love bugleweed and how aggressive it is, and anything blue and purple! I love spreading mushy compost! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This quilt block represents me in my garden where I feel grounded and alive and creative and completely myself. My identity, my garden, is an amalgamation of ongoing preferences and delights. I can’t believe how long I neglected this truth. Now, my gender is a garden I tend to. I am grateful to my queer community and the plants for showing me this way of knowing and becoming.&lt;/span&gt;</image:caption>
