The Quilt Figurine by Willow Tree

The figurine includes a gift tag with sentiment ‘Sleep my child and peace… peace… Covered in love and keep… keep…’.’I was thinking about metaphors of quilts. A lot about protection. A quilt makes us feel safe and warm. The rows of even stitching showing the passing of time, a meditative rhythm – like quieting and rocking a child. It takes time and patience. I wanted the quilt and the rocking to be one. The sentiment reveals this rhythm also – lullabies don’t have to make literal sense… but the cadence of the words is lyrical and soothing. The warmth and coziness of a sleeping child – the tender connection – these quiet memories exist in anyone who has ever rocked a child in their arms.’ – Susan Lordi. A gift to celebrate new beginnings, new families….and the loving relationships that develop between parent and child,grandparent and child…. Height: 14.0cm
