Why Polywog? Perhaps a better question is why not Polywog?

Growing up in the mid-west, with a houseful of brothers, the Polywog Pond was the best place to escape. Although it was across the street from home, it was deep in the forest. Quiet and peaceful, it was exciting to watch for the eggs, and then discover they had hatched into polywogs, and eventually will turn into frogs.

And the colors, what an array of colors! From the deepest greens, to the softest blues, mixed in were a blur of browns, and yellows, and violets... Splashes of white, pink and perhaps orange or fushia.

The fiber arts process is the same. Finding the fabrics, cutting them into pieces, joining the pieces to make a top, quilting it together to make an an art quilt. And the colors and textures of the fabrics.

The Polywog Pond will continue to live on...
