"Soul of Heart" presents a focal piece of bamboo and hand made paper pulp on a background of quilted deep burgundy red fabric. The edging is a fringed trim on machine quilted cotton. This quilt is one of a kind, created by Mary Fisher. Completed size is 26 3/4" wide by 68" high. There is a sleeve on the back for hanging. "Soul of Heart" is the first in a series of Soul quilts designed and executed by Mary Fisher. The artist statement that accompanies this quilt is as follows: My body's soul has grown weary. My heart is joyfully eager to serve, but my body's soul cannot keep pace. My heart reassures me, "We can go again, speak again, laugh and sign and dance again." My soul says, "No, let me stop and rest in silence." I love my heart's enthusiasm. I think I will do this: I will give my soul to my heart. When my soul belongs to my heart, it will soar again.
