English Paper Piecing is one of the oldest forms of hand quilting. It is the base for the famed grandmother quilt made of hexagon flowers. It is also a huge source of community for women as they sit in groups to work on their EPP projects and trade fabric hexagons with one another.

The undulating, empty sack hung from basement piping is a visual representation of the mental and emotional process I go through when processing the flaws of my body.
