Description
Participants of the We the People Community Quilt project were asked to answer a number of questions regarding their quilt square.
1. What does your square represent? The square represents a bit of who we are. At the center Abigail + Eleanor our West Highland West Terriers, are sitting in between Mark's golf + my books. At the bottom, the tree branches have the flags from our family trees. English, Dutch, German, + Italian on my side + Polish, Bulgarian, Croatian for Mark with an American Flag in the heart in the middle.
2. Why did you choose these symbols? As a historian, the books + the coffee are very appropriate for me. The golf stuff is very Mark. The patriotic symbols show our pride + love for our country + community.
3. What do you hope viewers notice or feel? I hope they feel like they are getting to know more about us. The patriotic colors + the symbols are the very service oriented side of us and the books, golf, and dogs are more the behind the scenes version.
