Look below for the original photograph.

I made this fabric postcard in 1995 to enter the American Quilter's Society contest (based on the book Fabric Postcards by Judi Warren) in hopes of winning an all-expense paid trip to Paducah (where Daddy's Quilt would be on display). The postcard is based on a photograph I took of my (now ex-) husband and two kids while on vacation in West Virginia in 1994. We had found this lovely place, this parking lot next to the river, in a valley, on some road somewhere, where we could wade in and play in the water. It was the most peaceful place I think I've ever been in my entire life. There's something very spiritual about that place. (2000)
