I feel honored to be among 4 other Mississippi fiber artists in this rendition of the Mississippi Ag Museum in Jackson. I had section #4 of 5 sections and I call my piece "Small Town Mississippi." My piece measures 25"X36" and is made by fusing commercial cottons and then stitching and quilting heavily.

This is the picture we worked from which was divided and each person was given a black & white copy of the finished size of their section.

Starting from the left the artists are:
1. Marcus Weekley
2. Martha Ginn
4. Julia Graber
5. Rita Warnock
I decided to take 'artist license' to make blooming flowers in my section to cheer and brighten it up. Now, I'm not too sure that was a good idea. They seem to stick out like a sore thumb!
