| The imagery of
this
banner combines quilting with painting. Painting is a new part of my
life and I love both quilting and painting equally. The image reflects the history of the area because it tells a story about the area. The quilting blocks include pine trees, a log cabin, flying geese, bears and a bear paw, moose, lakes, canoeing, fishing and our ducks. The border has been detailed with wild blueberries. I started quilting in the mid 80’s and became addicted. I have loved it ever since then. Soon after, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and died. It was my therapy that got me through. |

“Wild Irises
and Poppies”
| The imagery of this
banner
is of wild irises. Wild irises are one of many flowers in our
area. Often we take for granted the beauty that lives around
us. There are also wild poppies in the banner. The
simplified design and grid background make the banner look like a stain
glass window. The image reflects the history of the area because these flowers grow in the Red Lake district. |
