| Vases have a tendency to show
up in my work...and I've always wondered "Why do these things keep showing
up??" Then i realized while looking for a title for this piece.
I remembered: For a short time my dad brought home flowers for my mom,
only on Fridays. As he'd come through the front door my mom would say
"Hmmmm....it must be Friday!" i grew up in a time when Monday was washday,
Tuesday was for ironing. etc. Good thing it didn't rub off on me
today!
The quilt is embellished with stained glass on the outer borders...attached
with acrylic medium. couched yarn for stems of flowers. the flowers are
3-D.
This quilt has become very special to me, my mom helped place the flowers
(I had the need to include her once I realized the title) in September
while she recovered from cancer surgery. On november 3, 1998, she lost
her battle...Her hospice bed was placed next to the quilt hanging on the
wall.
