Ann's
Comments (1997):
“‘Of all the really bad things that can happen
to you, making a mistake with a piece of fabric is not one of them.’
This perspective – newly acquired as a result of a 1993 diagnosis
of breast cancer – allowed me to do such things as cut into expensive
fabric without having a plan, leave edges unfinished and raw, and defiantly
stitch ‘outside the lines,’ reflecting both the truly awful
times and the wonderful new freedoms.”
