Blanket Stories: Talking Stick, Works Progress, Steward

A site-specific installation commissioned by Curator Faith Brower and the High Desert Museum in Bend, Oregon

My great-grandmother McAtee (from rural Kansas) made each of her great-grandchildren a hand-sewn quilt before she passed. My grandmother had 10 daughters, so you can only imagine how many quilts were sewn. It was given to me by my mother on the day of my wedding, and will be passed on to mine. It is well-worn, well-used, and well-loved!
