...and her tears begin to fall.

June 2001

This quilt is the second in a series of quilts in which I am exploring women's emotional journey through life altering events. 

After I had created the first quilt I was really taken by the spiral.  Then when I played the "what often happens next" game, crying was the next part of the process of these life altering events. Whether it be the death of a love one, the end of a relationship, or the wide variety of endings we face each day,  tears are a way that women express their pain.  I took the spiral and changed it to the tear drop shape seen in this quilt.  

Watch for the next two in this series.  I hope to get going on the 4th one in September as the cartoon is already to go.
