Celestine alludes to a younger version of herself off the coast of Lynn, MA in this quilt square, fabricated using chain, satin, and blanket stitches. The image on the right is a photograph of a sewing lesson conducted at a Boston school in 1892, when Celestine would have been finishing her quilt. Juxtaposing these two depictions of girlhood highlights how the occupational skills used to protect and sustain Celestine's mother and sisters as they navigated life alone in Boston also allowed her to recapture the beauty and nostalgia of childhood. Sewing was a tool to access the past and reclaim the future.
