Describe your quilt in 2-3 sentences
(e.g. This handsewn quilt features appliquéd and embroidered depictions of Baltimore’s local birds, including orioles, blue jays, and cardinals. Made with cotton and linen fabrics dyed in natural hues—indigo, madder, and walnut—the quilt layers color and texture to evoke the city’s gardens, trees, and waterways. Each stitch connects traditional textile craft with a celebration of the region’s ecological life.)
