Ray's Hope

 

In 2000 I became convinced that expressing love and virtue is necessary in the turbulent world of today.  "Ray's Hope" is an especially meaningful design.  It was influenced by the beauty of the movement of waves seen in an art print by Hiroshige.  Above a field of raging waves, suddenly the sky opens and a penetrating ray descends from heaven.  In this dramatic scene, love is represented by red, faith is represented by blue, and hope is represented by yellow.  This quilt expresses the dedication of three generations of men to the word of God.
