Conversations with the Artists
Trading fabrics for worn wooden planks, split doors, cracked cabinets, and broken dressers, Laura Petrovich-Cheney still considers her work to be quilts.

Yet, the result is the same— an object of beauty and comfort, a pieced-together whole from scraps that tells a story of hope and resilience.
