Artist Statement:

American Made Brand issued a challenge to quilters to create pieces made exclusively from their fabrics, on the theme of "What does 'made in America' mean to you?" What can be more "made in America" than apple pie made from organic apples grown in my own back yard, accompanied by vanilla ice cream? So... all of those ideas made their way into this quilt, along with my mother's old colander, ice cream scoop and pie server.
