Houston, TX USA

Width: 9" Length: 11.25"

Designer: Original design

Materials/Techniques: Cotton fabrics and hand appliqué with embellishments.

Artist Statement: We have a family challenge every year. Two of us are quilters, but I'm the only one who makes art quilts. The rule is that if you don't quilt, you need to contribute a design and/or fabric. This year, two of my sisters sent me both their designs and fabric. I make a "test" one first so they can approve. They got to keep the first one and I made the final one for Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative.

We first did this challenge last year with the theme "Sky Blue Pink," Dad's favorite color. One of the non- quilters asked if we could do it again and came up with the "Blueberry Fields" theme since we grew up next to a cultivated blueberry farm.

The quilt was designed by Annette Parker Winkler and Lynn Winkler Hashemi; an original design in memory of our father.

Dedication: In memory of our father, Eugene Parker.

Note: there is some dried glue visible on the left blueberry, near the leaf.
