This quilt block is the center to the quilt 'Red Skies at Night'. I made this quilt with the intention of doing detailed quilting. It won a 1st place award at the Broward Expo in 2017. It was shown at the Carpenter Gallery in 2019. .

When I was deciding what block to paint I picked this one because it was a favorite of a couple who's building I hoped this block would hang on. It worked , they liked it. It is hung on the Carpenter Building, in downtown Newberry - Karla Irby

During the COVID-pandemic, she designed and published a number of patterns, including the Renew Quilt Pattern. She chose this pattern for her barn quilt at the St. Luke’s Parsonage because the design shows small pieces merging back into the whole (the center of the design). Being in and among the community renews us and comforts us. At the time the pattern was created the community - and the world - were separated and she longed for see the renewal of the community.

The Newberry County Quil Trail hangs the first quilt on their new trail in Pomaria, SC.
