When we moved from Thunder Bay to Kenora the children and I (4 and 2 years) drove past the landfill site and we were all amazed at the murmurations of sea gulls that flocked there. I went home and created this small quilt from fabrics dyed with rit kitchen dye. I remember hanging the small amounts of cotton on the line. The seagulls were painted on afterwards using white acrylic paint.
I was very excited by my discovery of art quilts and how I could fit the hand piecing and hand quilting into my busy life as a young mom.
