"While taking a red-eye flight back from the West Coast, I happened to look out the window somewhere over the Midwest. There, all of the landscape is laid out in grids, and at 30,000 feet, on a clear night, all that marks one town from the next are the streets lined by gold mercury vapor lights and blue tungsten lights. At night, the sight is magical as the scene stretches for miles as one small town after another rolls by. I would have never attempted this on a large scale quilt, as there would have been just too many buttons or beads, but on a 10" x 12" ( 25.25 cm x 30.5 cm) this small art quilt is the perfect size for what I wanted to record."
