Swimming Upstream #1, 16 x 31 inches, by O.V. Brantley, 2010.

Swimming Upstream #1  is my newest creation. The quilts in this series are quilted by hand and  made from luscious batiks that evoke thought of the  beautiful Caribbean Sea. Like many of my quilts,  Swimming Upstream #1 also features inspirational words hidden in the quilt. The moral of this series is, “Life may be hard, but there is beauty all around you.” 

Swimming Upstream #1, which measures 16 x 31 inches, will be offered at my Open House tomorrow and Sunday for  $120.00 a 40%  discount from the regular  price of $200.00
