Observations soon became a lesson in how to look more closely at the rolling hills and how to interpret the results of this scrutiny in my work. Later, land became a metaphor and developed into an ongoing pursuit to interpret it.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe riparian environment, the place where water meets earth, holds just as much fascination. It's one thing to snap a picture of a creek or pond nestled deep in the woods, it is another to interpret it. Always a challenge, creating the illusion of a graceful canopy over a shimmering body of water never fails to satisfy once I accomplish the effect I'm looking for. The process for foliage on each quilt is similar but never the same.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWater is a metaphor for the eternal. It shapes our lives, moving through us and around us. I am fascinated. I am confident that I will be interpreting landscapes and waterscapes for a long time, as the natural environment presents an opportunity to learn on so many levels.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e(Photo from: \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nancyhershberger.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.nancyhershberger.com\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nancy Anne Hershberger \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eQuilter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nancy Anne Hershberger \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eYear Made:\u003c\/strong\u003e NA \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOwned By:\u003c\/strong\u003e NA \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 68.5 x 88.5 inches \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShows \u0026amp; Museums:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival XXXIV 2023 \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAwards:\u003c\/strong\u003e Best Sewing Machine Workmanship - Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival XXXIV 2023 \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nancy Anne Hershberger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54046433870099,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/4575\/5155\/files\/28048-october-standoff-nancy-anne-hershberger-31-1693332857_077b7c5c-4db9-4d8e-af57-8f0b817f4387.jpg?v=1776144702","url":"https:\/\/gallery.thequiltshow.com\/products\/october-standoff-nancy-anne-hershberger","provider":"The Quilt Show Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
