Losses, 2006<br />
Elaine Quehl (Orleans, ON)<br />
All fabrics and thread hand-dyed by artist; free-form curved pieced,<br />
fusible trapunto appliquéd, free-motion machine quilted. 42" x 61"<br />
As we age it sometimes seems that the passage of<br />
time is marked by loss (parents, friends, jobs, health,<br />
etc.).<strong>The</strong> seasons change, and autumn comes around<br />
again and the leaves on the basswood trees show<br />
their varying stages of turning from green to gold.<br />
As autumn progresses, they grow ever more luminous.<br />
<strong>The</strong> downward flow of the leaves on this quilt<br />
represents the losses experienced over a lifetime.<br />
