Dimensions:

14" x 16"

Artist Statement:

Time got away from me this year, so I purchased this to donate to GSAFE.

If only hearts grew on trees! This cross stitched project has hearts bursting from branches of a tree. It was done on 14 ct. Aida cloth, and was professionally framed. No glass on frame.

Size:

23" x 21.5" including frame

Artist Note:

This tree was stitched in loving memory of my brother R.C., who identified as gay. he loved being in nature, and he exuded love and acceptance.

I used the "Live Boldly" quilt pattern, created by designer Charisma Horton, to make this quilt. I love the bold, graphic, modern look of the design, and the lively, joyful feel that it conveys.

Size:

48" x 36"

Artist Note:

I love the work that GSAFE is doing to help create safe spaces in schools for LGBTQ youth to grow and to thrive. As LGBTQ people, we realize how crucial it is to have a supportive community of wise elders, peers, and true allies to help us learn to live, love and act both boldly and joyfully.
