Sunflowers in the Snow

I have put a lot of myself into this art quilt. You can see the hand made roughness of the stitches and the loose threads. I am saying I’m here, I’m alive, and I’m creating. The colors created themselves as the snow dyeing process separated black dye into blues and pinks. The sunflower is a symbol of the life giving sun. I used colorful sunflowers to print swirling black marks. So this quilt goes from the void to color and then back.
