Memoril Quilt

My former Mother-In-Law accepted me wholeheartedly when, at age 18, I married her son and began growing up.  She became my mentor, my other mother, my friend and someone who loved me, despite a divorce some 8 years later, now nearly 35 years ago.  I remained in good touch with her, and she still called me and treated me as "daughter."

For her eldest daughter on her passing.

Butterfly Memorial Quilts for Ruth

Ruth and Dad got married in their 80's, and enjoyed 7 loving years before, at age 96, Ruth passed. I made little memorial butterfly quilts for her 4 daughters, and 1 for my Dad, for the memorial service.

 

Butterfly Baby Quilt

My dear friend Racquela is preparing to welcome her third girl to the world.  I love this butterfly pattern, it's so pretty and elegant.  The colors are modern baby colors. 

Butterflies Quilt

My cousin Tary was a unique man, sweet, loving, kind. We lost him way too young.

The butterflies are batiks, the sky is a gently painted light blue on muslin. The quilt will reside with my cousin Patty.

Fly back home,  on newly formed wings.  I miss you.
