Shaded Beauty

This was the first collaborative quilt effort I participated in. She represents woman's ability to give shade and protection to those she loves. Even in turbulent times, we are strong and resilient and bend when we need to. As Black women, we have endured so much, but yet we are still here....still strong.

The owl charm represents wisdom; the lady bug represents good fortune. At the top of the quilt is the ship that brought us here, but the land that is still in our hearts and spirit.
