Migration Cowl
by Elsa Stowman
This cowl was inspired by seasons, birds and old quilts. (Can you see the Flying Geese pattern?) The two halves of this cowl can be thought of as the northern and southern hemispheres across which the hardy arctic tern was designed to travel in its yearly migration between the poles. Migration combines the grace and strength of this unique bird.
