The Night Garden, 2023

Night Garden explores the cyclical nature of life, death, and renewal through the contrast of light and dark, as well as natural shapes and colors. The quilt, born from a deeply personal experience of loss, became a means of healing. It reflects the emotional range of grief and growth, using textures and forms to evoke the quiet strength found in life's inevitable transitions. Through this piece, I aim to create space for both sorrow and hope, capturing the beauty that can emerge from times of profound change.

I used drunkard’s path shapes cut freehand with my rotary cutter with my hand dyed fabric to improvise the design.

Juried into QuiltCon 2023; Pacific International Quilt Festival, 2023; QUILT SF 2025, San Francisco Quilters Guild where it was awarded a First Place ribbon.
