 Michelle
Fielder, Somerset, NJ
Wall Hanging, approx. 40" x 40"
Michelle took the African Mosaic Quilt class a
while back, adding her own touches to complete this piece for her
friend's 50th birthday. She stitched the basic African Mosaic block,
then split it in half and added three gold adinkra symbol
appliqués. From top to bottom, the adinkra symbols mean
'charismatic leadership', 'quality control' and 'love always finds
its way home'. . "It also has really tiny beads glued around
the edges of the symbols", Michelle says, and she further
embellished with cowrie shells and mud cloth borders.

ACCENTS.) |
