Description
Brianna Grant is an Occupational Therapy student. She shared artwork created with fabric.
"I created this modern quilt to represent the memory of gratitude journaling with my elementary school students and the positive impact it had on our classroom environment and culture, as well as my personal mindset. The front chronicles our daily chant to celebrate gratitude with a pair of speech bubbles. The back includes a speech bubble with an ellipse, encouraging the viewer to interact with the quilt by creating their own gratitude statement in response. I created the pattern, sewed it by machine and quilted it with my longarm quilting machine. The entire quilt was created using leftover fabric from a quilt I made for a coworker in celebration of her retirement, adding an extra layer of my gratitude for the care and compassion she showed me as a mentor and friend."
