Church in the Wildwood
65" x 71"
**Inspired from Looking Glass Rock Trail from the Blue Ridge Parkway and Lake Junaluska Chapel**
As very small children, my sister Daphne and I loved the hymn that is written on this quilt, and would sing it for anyone! She lives not too far from the giant redwoods now, and I live in North Carolina not too far from one of the few remaining giant hardwood forests. This quilt is a childhood dream. It combines my feelings of worshipful awe in these forests, with resonant feelings in places of worship built by human hands. Inspired by Looking Glass Rock Trail from the Blue Ridge Parkway and Lake Junaluska Chapel
There's a church in the valley by the wildwood
No lovelier spot in the dale
No place is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale
Oh. Come to the Church in the Wildwood
Words and Music by Dr. William Pitts, 1857
