| 22 7/8" x 20 1/2" Hand appliqued, embroidered, beaded, quilted My granny was very musical, playing the piano, pump organ, guitar, and guitar-mandolin. She played what we called "old time" music.... traditional music and folk songs and gospel hymns. My granny was in demand when she was young as neighbors and kin traipsed back and forth to visit and dance and sing. She died when I was very little but I like to think that I got my love of this traditional music and dance from her. This piece captures one moment and movement in time as the couple move together and apart and step to the music. |

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI'm organizing a fundraising Contradance for a youth-run Meals on Wheels organization in Montreal. http://www.santropolroulant.org/2009/F-home.htm
I found your image online and am wondering if I can use it for a poster.
It's beautiful.
