Gerrie Thompson - A Few of Gerrie's Favorites

As we age we can’t help but notice how we start to become invisible, our hair starts to gray, our skin loses its vibrancy and we can feel like society has lost interest in us.  It’s easy to feel as if we’re disappearing—we want to shout “Hey I’m still here, I still matter, don’t forget or dismiss me.

This quilt expresses the frustration of both the process of aging and  the effects of  age related conditions.

There is so much expression in the eye, what thoughts lie behind that gaze?  He’s watching.  What does this white tiger watch for? Is he aware that both his species and his habitat are endangered?  We should be as watchful.

An improvisational quilt using strip piecing. 

Creating this quilt was a wonderful free-flowing experience.
