<strong>The</strong>ir Mothers' Daughters, 2008<br />

Deborah Compeau (London, ON)<br />

Commercial as well as hand dyed cotton fabrics; machine pieced colourwash<br />

background, hand appliquéd, hand embroidered motifs, machine<br />

quilted. 49" x 51"<br />

I decided to focus on the connections between<br />

mothers and daughters, reflected in the "women's<br />

work" of quilting. <strong>The</strong> photographs represent six<br />

generations of my family, from my 16 year old niece<br />

to my great great grandmother. If you look closely at<br />

the eyes you see the family connection that binds<br />

yesterday to today and today to tomorrow.<br />
