| The quilt is a warm and cozy depiction of Irish Water Spaniels in their various poses. |
| "Many of the pictures of Irish Water Spaniels are based on the pictures in the 2006 calendar put out by the IWSCOPS. Other poses are based on observations of Irish Water Spaniels that I know personally, and one is taken from a tile in my brother’s kitchen. The brown color scheme was the biggest challenge. I had to choose fabric that would represent shadows, light, and shape on the figures of the dogs. If I’d chosen single-color fabrics in brown, the dogs would have come out looking like blobs.” The artist estimates the retail value of the approximately 85” square quilt to be about $1,500 to $2,000. |
