My Heart’s Still Beeting! The quilt in the background of this piece is printed fabric of my face, appliquéd and repeated 80 times on a quilt that I made in 1969. The original Therese Quilt still gets recognized in books and magazines as a creation that a pioneer (me) of art quilts made. In the current piece, My Heart’s Still Beeting, I’m communicating to the quilt world, which has grown into a huge industry since the late sixties, but also to help give a voice to the millions of quilt artists who are virtually unknown to the general art world, that I’m still alive and growing as an artist. I chose the beet image for its healthy connotations as well as its color and shape as a light hearted pun.
