...a Kay Haerland Quilt






Zen Garden Sunrise (84” x 54”)     January, 1998


I have long admired the sense of simplicity and serenity of Japanese quilts. With this quilt, I wanted to integrate many contrasts, (dawn/dusk, intellectual/emotional, structured/organic, inside/outside, light/dark...) into a single expression of respect and kindred spirit.
