“The story is told from Nana’s heart.

‘Taste of Summer’ is a quilt Nana dedicated her entire summer to making, using warm tones of brown and gold. From Nana’s perspective, this quilt is not just a piece of craftsmanship but also a vibrant diary of memories and emotions of summer.

The quilt features deep brown and bright golden fabric patches, symbolizing the earth and the sunlight—two essential elements of summer. The brown patches resemble winding paths through ripe fields, lush gardens, and leisurely afternoon strolls under the trees. The golden patches, on the other hand, evoke images of blooming sunflowers, ripe fruits, and the warm rays of the summer sun.

Nana gently caresses each fabric piece, reminiscing about her summer memories. ‘As I stitched each thread, I thought about warm summer days with family, picnics, and relaxing afternoons in the sunlight,’ Nana shares. ‘This quilt is a bridge between the past and present, a way to pass on those beautiful memories to my grandchildren.’

Each piece of fabric and stitch on ‘Taste of Summer’ was carefully selected and hand-sewn by Nana. The alternating brown and gold squares form a picturesque summer landscape, creating a warm and familiar feeling. This quilt is not only visually appealing but also imbued with Nana’s love and gratitude for past summers.

Nana hopes that when people look at ‘Taste of Summer,’ they will feel the warmth and joy of summer, along with the cherished memories it brings. For Nana, this quilt is a symbol of happiness and family connection, a way to preserve the essence of summer memories in everyone’s hearts.”
