I AM A STAR!

I AM A STAR! 31 x 33 inches, 2005. A challenge from the Brown Sugar Stitchers quilt guild that was exhibited in the 2005 Brown Sugar Stitchers Quilt Show.

The label on the back reads as follows: "When I was a little girl, I dreamed of looking like them. I wondered why my hair couldn't be straight and my but flat. Later I turned my BACK on that self hatred and proclaimed myself a star. I embraced my African roots and found myself. I AM A STAR just as God created me."
