mosaics hard and soft; making peace with the pieces
Memorial Quilts
Quilts made for daughters, from clothing of mother who passed away–the wife of my above-mentioned friend. You can see how designs can vary widely, and I take my cues in part from the palettes of the clothes themselves. The first quilt is self-designed. Bottom quilt is Denyse Schmidt’s pattern, Free-Wheeling Single Girl. Improvisational free-motion quilting.
Memorial quilt made from a beloved’s clothing. Free-motion quilting allows writing that reminds the living partner of their deep love.
