Jenny Raymond, quilt artist, author, speaker, teacher and BERNINA National Artisan describes her Chocolate Delight ensemble, which was juried into the 2012 IQA Show.
This ensemble was started a year ago but had to be set aside because my Mother dying in Waco, TX. She passed May 25th of last year of Alzheimers. I finished this ensemble in her memory. If it hadnt been for her, I dont think Id have come as far as I have in my work. Her sewing skills were simple but precise; she instilled good skills in me, always press open your seams for one. I am today because of who she was. Her favorite candy bar was a Hershey with almonds; mine too, like Mama like daughter.
