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 />
