Quilt, applique 

This applique quilt, created by Lillian Causey (1855-1995), features a central motif of two intertwined cherry branches laden with red fruit. The detailed hand-stitching of the green leaves and the vibrant red cherries evokes a sense of natural beauty and abundance. The bottom portion of the image reveals a pencil sketch of the quilt's pattern, giving viewers a glimpse into the artist's design process. Quilting, a traditional art form, often reflects personal stories and family histories, making this piece a testament to Causey's skill and creative vision.
