When one door closes, another one opens. This was the mindset adopted by Janet Atkins after the loss of her quilt, Kaaterskill. Cauterskill Rising was created because, as Janet puts it, "I found a silver lining - I could explore the quilt design further and use a similar color palette in a new work. Cauterskill is the alternate spelling of the original quilt name." Exhibited at Houston 2017 in the Merit Quilting, Hand category, Janet utilized impressive hand piecing and hand appliqué to bring about a new work where one once stood.
