I started this quilt to process the emotional highs and lows I felt after leaving my long-term relationship. I created a base quilt and throughout the year used it like a journal, a place to put down all that I was feeling. Working on both sides, I added, cut away, covered over, cried on, bled on, and kept going. It’s filled with grief, fear, sadness and also strength, resilience, and sparkles of light.
