This series evoked a strong desire to tell the story of women who have suffered, fallen down, gotten back up and soared. The idea for this exhibit came to me with \"Only Women Have Wings\" back in 2009. I put it on the back burner until \"And The Angels Cried\" came forth out of the horrendous shooting death of the Emanuel Nine in a Charleston, South Carolina church. The flame was ignited inside me to create an entire series of quilts exclaiming that we get knocked down but we don't stay down. After creating \"Leap\", the quilts started rolling in. Dancers after dancers, then different kinds of dancers, all came to me. The wings and the outfits were just as important as the stories that went along with the quilts.Finally it was a memorable series with audacious stories and beautiful quilts, plus a bonus quilt pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50156257050847,"sku":"9780991130542","price":33.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/UkpMZFVpZHovT0toOFlqWHQ3aU5BZz09.webp?v=1781748375"},{"product_id":"scrap-easy-building-a-collage-quilt-paperback","title":"Scrap Easy: Building A Collage Quilt - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eScrap Easy is a fun and sassy way to create an art quilt with little measuring and no stress.
