People think that my book
Quilts in the Attic: Uncovering the Hidden Stories of the Quilts We Love is just about old quilts. And while it is true that most of the quilts in the book are old, I wanted my book to be so much more. In the story
Mary Moon, Who Were You, there is a wonderful red and white quilt created by Mary Moon when she was 19 years old. However, the story also shares how Mary's life story and quilt influenced mixed media artist
Lynne Perrella. There wasn't room in the book to share one of the art pieces that Lynne created so I am sharing one here (with permission). The piece is 11 x 14 inches. This essay showcases how quilts creates can and do reach across time and influence art. I'd like to think that Mary Moon Rockefeller would be pleased.
