Take a look at some of the fascinating quilts of British-born artist Kate Cox.  In her own words, "Through my work I find a way of expressing myself that I am unable to do in any other way. It is very personal to me and with it I am able to discover new things about myself and the world I live in."  See what you discover in Kate's quilts.

To learn more about Kate, please watch episode 605 - Improvisational Landscapes.  Click here to watch the show.
