Persephone Chirolla

Here

Here is based on the idea of quilting and embroidery as a meditative experience, as well as giving the quilter a sense of control. The quilt is two-sided to represent the contrast between the types of thoughts that one with anxiety may have: the anxious thoughts themselves, and the thoughts to help cope with anxiety. Side one depicts working through the feelings and moving toward calming down, using a triangular pattern and beaded embroidery. Side two focuses on depicting the anxious thoughts, using a variety of embroidery stitches and threads.
