Collection of Chantelle Cheri Cory, Owings Mills, MD

    I began this quilt after attending a beaded fringe class at the crazy quilt conference in Omaha. All of the beads and embellishments are laid down individually by hand, including the mermaids and deep-sea diver. I feverishly beaded on the quilt through the summer of 2002, and then I had a devastating blow in August.  My daughter was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.  She enjoyed watching each of the fish come alive with the embellishments.  This quilt became very therapeutic work for me.  I cried and beaded and cried some more.  I decided to name the quilt for her, using her initials “CCC”.  With the play on her initials, it was titled, “Sea, Sea, Sea”.
