TENNESSEE ROOTS (2018)
This original quilt highlights famous African American from all walks of life. There are musicians, athletes, politicians, and performers, among others. The quilting around each figure adds emphasis to their contributions. Music notes for performers, trees for people with strong characters, brick walls for very determined individuals. Around the edge of the quilt there are stylized birds at the top to reflect on the large bird population across the State. Around the other tree edges is the Tennessee River with its many dams and locks. The river ends with a river boat in Memphis.
