Most of the population in Haiti relies on cooking with charcoal, a fact that has contributed to the widespread deforestation of the country. In this quilt, the artist issues a warning that something must change. The number of trees are dwindling and the beautiful landscape of hills and foliage she shows in the distance will disappear.
Made by premier quilt artist Nadège Florian, the quilt is treadle-machine pieced, hand-quilted and appliquéd, and embellished with embroidery. Sleeve on the reverse for hanging. 100% cotton. A complementary copy of Patience to Raise the Sun included with your purchase.
