About the Cover
April 1, 2008
A water jug capturing reflected sunlight drew attention one morning during a routine jog on the ridge top. On closer inspection, a large camp was discovered just over a hill from our house. Camp remains of backpacks, discarded clothing, food, trash, and water jugs were scattered along a protected, well-hidden draw. My husband Keith and I discovered this second camp on our land and it was noticeably different from the previous camp. Women crossers were included in this group, evidenced by clothing, personal items and female debris.

The monumental sculpture standing in the desert has a broad scope of inspiration and meaning. According to the artist that created it, Neil Bernstein, it is to stand as a memorial to the plight of migrants and as it reaches into the heavens, it serves as a golden talisman of spirituality - yet earth-bound in its function as a beacon and water source for travelers.

The quilt, “Magical Medallions” is exquisite, and even if you are not particularly aware of what it takes to create an appliquéd quilt of this quality – just by the play of colors, design and the thousands upon thousands of tiny stitches worked into the design you know it is a masterwork of quilting.
