Olivia's Flower, August 2003
8.5" x 11"


I was overwhelmed as I packed for our cross country driving vacation when I heard my baby’s deep throated bubbly infectious laughter spilling up from the tip of her toes and out her mouth. You can’t hear her and not be affected by her. I get a sense that everything is going to be okay when I hear this wonderful sound that she makes. I used my son’s spin art machine to draw the spiral for the quilting pattern. I love the variegated thread.
