Morse Code by Jill Kerr

Morse code is a method used in telecommunication to encode text characters as standardized sequences of two different signal durations, called dots and dashes.  Jill Kerr used Morse Code to create the entire alphabet - from A to Z - in quilted form. In the process, she created a modern art quilt with strong graphic impact. The quilt was created for, and exhibited in, a special 2023 Alphabet Quilt exhibit.
