In My Own Mind 1 is a lovely quilt with hand dyed border and Mary Fisher's hand made paper incorporated into the main body. The fabric is printed and embellished by hand. The hand made paper figure is embellished onto wool fleece. This quilt is 28-1/2 inches wide by 36 inches high and has a sleeve attached for hanging. Deep purple and blue hand dyed fabric borders this quilt. Multiple shades of copper, browns, and blues are printed onto the fabric and then embellished with hand embroidery. The artist statement for this quilt reads as follows: "In my own mind I am old. My feet show the wear of trudging a million miles of roads. My eyes open painfully to take in what I do not want to see. My heart wants to fold shut to keep out all news of other pilgrims on the road to AIDS. No more orphans. No more widows. No more losses. I am too weary, too old."
