Brenetta Ward enjoys combining traditional quilting techniques and ethnic fabrics to create simple, elegant designs. My quilted pieces celebrate life – the joys, triumphs, memories and sorrows of living. I view each composition as a page with a visual story to tell. My fiber art celebrates significant events in everyday life. My techniques include piecing, applique', photo-transfers, embellishments and quilting.
