Approximately 50" square, this gorgeously crafted quilt celebrates the life of the quilter - a 74 year old woman named Elsie.

In the center of this predominantly dark red and off-white quilt lies the female gender symbol.  Within the ring is printed: "I am a 74 year old woman. Through the years, I have played many roles - some have come and gone, but at my very core, I am still a woman."

Surrounding the female symbol are images of a woman as she travels through life - beginning as a baby and ending as an old woman.

At each of the four corners, a multicolored floral graphic is adorned with tiny beads.

Finally, around red border, a line of printed text lists all of the many roles this woman has played, from "cookie maker" to "secretary" to "community activist" to "grandmother."

The back is quilted in a swirling pattern over a multicolored floral fabric and includes a panel listing the quilter's name and address.
