Begining with the architecture of the clothing, these quilts are pieced without a
predetermined pattern. This process provides the maker an
opportunity to examine his or her life patterns.
The resulting quilts reflect the relationship of the maker to the
materials, retain a sense of the body, and in the case of bereavement,
carry the consoling essence of the beloved.
One of two quilts made with the help of Julie and Libby Manly from their mother's clothes. The pattern for this quilt grew out of the desire to highlight all the colorful and beaded pockets from Tacey's clothing.
