I Remember Mama

Here are two of the quilts I made for the show I Remember Mama. The final quilt did not make it into the show, which I was really grateful for. One the quilt wasn't finished in my mind, and two I wasn't ready for my quilt to leave and be gone for almost a year.

The first quilt in the series, What Mama Loves is three layers of fabric stitched in the Kantha Quilting style. Kantha Stitching has it's origins in India.

The second quilt is a combination of machine and hand stitching. It is also three layers of fabric, no batting. I also put some found objects on the piece starting with the patch of fabric in the middle of the quilt.
