Wildflower Hills
Bright orange California Poppies and vibrant purple Arroyo Lupines are symbols of hope and renewal, returning each Spring to bloom. They are resilient to drought and harsh soil, sending down deep roots to find water so they can feed butterflies and other pollinators. Both plants have symbolism in wellness and cultural heritage for native Californians.
Living in Southern California I love seeing these flowers return and bloom each year. I created this quilt by cutting small pieces of solid-colored fabric and stitching them together on my sewing machine. Once the whole picture was pieced together, I layered it on top of batting and stitched with colored thread through the layers to add energetic details with stitched lines.
