My mother, grandmother, and sister made me a quilt for
my high school graduation. It has a piece of writing and artwork from
each year of school embroidered on panels, in my handwriting. It tells
a story of who I am and how I became the person I am now.
I have always loved being wrapped up in the quilts that
my great grandmother made. The fabrics and the stiching fascinate me.
I recently started quilting as well, and find joy in continuing a family
tradition. Combining functionality, emotion, and art through the quilts
makes them well worth the time and effort.
