About Me
- Name: Ann Morrell
- Location: Grayton Beach, Florida, United States
I am a 68 year old retired school teacher who is living her retirement dream at Grayton Beach, a small community located between Destin and Panama City Florida. I am sharing my dream home with my husband Larry a wood worker and Rufus, our cat. Rufus was dumped in our area, and was one frighten, flea encusted, little hungry fellow. We adopted him and now I can not imagine our life without him. I make my pictures using fabric.

She's lovely!
She is wonderful, Ann! I love all the detail you have included in the picture. And I'm glad that she has that happy expression instead of the "too many kids" look.
Ann it is amazing how you translated a story about a woman in Walton county lore into an art quilt. All the research you did to find out who she was. I look forward to seeing her in person.
Wow, this is amazing! You really are talented!
Great quilt! Picture says a thousand words!
Wow, this is really amazing. A real work of art. Wonderful to visit you.
WOW!!! This is a stunning story quilt. Not to mention all the back story about Ms. Bama Love.

What a great depiction, but obviously you had to do work worthy of Bama Love (such a great name).
Thanks for sharing this quilt.
Come see my new quilt -#215 and my favorite antique quilts #220

Very interesting story, and wonderful quilt. My sister in law is married to a Haney, but they were from LA. Also my pastor's last name is Haney, but I think they were from up north. Small world.

I love your quilt...she is just wonderful! It is truly an art quilt, and your story is like mine.My second marriage was to my soulmate, so we are both lucky with that.

What an amazing tribute to a fascinating woman. You should do a series of these to tell other women's stories. Awesome work.

A wonderful start to what I am sure will be a very interesting series. Quilting and genealogy together - great :)
She is wonderful.Its almost as if her spirit shines trough your work. reminds me of my grandmother from Frisco city Alabama. She could represent all southern Grandmas.
You are always so creative in the way you weave a story into your quilts. She is wonderful.
Ann,Ann,Ann,your talents are over the moon! I am so impressed and the quilt is truly beautiful. My mother in law would have loved to see this quilt. And, Bama is one I can show our third graders!
This is such a wonderful wonderful work of art. The artistry is phenomenal, but I truly adore it as Bama was my great great grandmother. I look forward to sharing these photos of your wonderful quilt with my family. I know they will think it just as wonderful as I do. Thank you for sharing this!
Doing my family tree and came across this. I would love to meet the artist and talk about Bama Love Mammie Bamer as my Mother (Debbie Bama's Great Greamd Daughter)called her.
