In the fullness of summer one seed grows into a woman
who rises up to meet her lover
in a warm embrace.
I have used images of the sun and plants to represent
an organic, inevitable, natural growth of
love between a man and woman.
This quilt portrays my ideal of
a creative, romantic, dynamic partnership
between soulmates.
It was inspired by the relationship and creative imagery
of the Scottish artist Margaret MacDonald MacKintosh
and her architect-husband Charles Rennie MacKintosh.
The frame was designed and made by John Rose.
