Kathy McNeil, internationally award winning quilt artist.  Sewing thousands of little scraps of fabric together by hand, she creates quilts that look like paintings. These wall hangings are inherently and symbolically full of love and comfort. Often using over a hundred different fabrics (1-2000 pieces) in one composition, she revels in adding small details and surprises for the viewer to find. Her award winning quilts are frequently featured in museums, magazines, calendars and international shows. Many of her quilts are in private collections.
 

Celtic Fox
The Celtic fox, captured in this quilt, symbolizes a need to think fast, and be cleaver and wize. The Fox is often described as cunning, that word comes from “Kenning”, meaning to know and understand. Shape-shifters, illuminated by the moon, they are associated with transformation and the need to take a new approach to our lives. Silent and Swift, Owls are the Crone Goddess’s  messengers, helping to unmask those who would deceive or harm you. Rabbits are connected to the moon and femininity. They talk to us about conceiving new ideas and holding them in our hearts. In Ireland eating a hare was like eating your own grandmother.
