The Quilt - Willow Tree ®

Willow Tree is an intimate line of figurative sculptures representing sentiments of love, closeness, healing, courage, hope...all the emotions we encounter in life. "I remember when my husband and daughter or son played, laughed and tumbled together on the rug...or when all the grandkids piled onto my dad's back for horse rides...those moments of spontaneous play, of cuddling, tickling, being present together , became the foundation for their close relationships throughout the years" - Susan Lordi. The item is made in cast stone and hand-painted with lead-free paint. Supplied in a branded gift box and a gift tag with sentiment 'We've only just begun...forever my little one'. Not a toy or children's product. Intended for adults only.

“I was thinking about metaphors of quilts. A lot about protection. A quilt makes us feel safe and warm. The rows of even stitching showing the passing of time, a meditative rhythm—like quieting and rocking a child. It takes time and patience. I wanted the quilt and the rocking to be one. The sentiment reveals this rhythm also— lullabies don’t have to make literal sense ... but the cadence of the words is lyrical and soothing. The warmth and coziness of a sleeping child—the tender connection—these quiet memories exist in anyone who has ever rocked a child in their arms”
