This story began as a love letter written to my husband when he went off to college and turned into a children’s story about seeing things from someone else’s viewpoint. After 9/11 I redrew the story that I had written so long before, using the faces of many different children to illustrate our need to understand and know each other, to take a walk in another’s shoes.

Calico Kittens
This story is about the quilt on my daughter’s bed on the day she left for college. I created the images in 3-D collage using leftover fabric from the original quilt. Other bits and pieces were used to recreate her old room. A sewing pattern for a kitten was given to me long ago, scribbled on a piece of paper. Over the years I have revised and shaped it into my Calico Kitten. I have sewn many a Calico Kitten for many a child to love.
