.a Kay Haerland Quilt

In a Private Collection






Silent Flight (70” x 47”)         July, 1996


This quilt came together from a growing interest in doing a black and while quilt, an old National Geographic article on the ‘Great Gray Owl’ and suggestions from my husband Bård. His attention to detail shows in the accurate star constellation (1:30am on February 23rd, looking North).
