Fendrick’s design featured a series of scenes she encountered during her journey, expertly stitched into fabric. The quilt depicted Cuba’s diverse landscapes, including bustling streets, serene waterfront beaches, rolling fields, and picturesque farms. Each section captured the country’s vibrant colors and rich textures, offering a glimpse into its natural beauty and cultural charm.

Fendrick, a landscape architect, splits her time between Naples and Everglades City, where she has been deeply involved in community projects. She designed the landscaping at the Bank, contributed to the city’s Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan, and served on the Trail Town committee.

A longtime supporter of the area, she has even donated a quilt for a past museum fundraiser.

Celebrating its 30th annual event, the Stitches in Time Quilt Show is a professionally judged exhibition of members’ quilts and quilted art pieces. The show promotes artisan education and philanthropy through quilting, honoring the artistry and storytelling that make this craft so special.
