Mary Fisher has created the soul series during 2010 with a powerful message about her soul. This quilt is a combination of her hand made paper and a machine quilted cotton background. Mary has also incorporated bamboo into the figure for further texture and dimension. The quilt measures 75 inches by 25 inches. The moving words of Mary are on the back of this quilt, reading as follows: When my sons were little, the sweetest moment of the day was when they fell asleep. It brought a joyful quiet, a time divided from the chaos and incessant clatter of the day. No more telephones, no more salesmen, no more noise. Ironically, in being separated from my children by their sleep, in being divided from the noise by the silence - there I was most connected to them and to life. Then came AIDS. In facing separation from all I loved through illness and death, life took on new meaning. I knew again that separation has soul power.
