A Forest of Remembrance

Quilt Story: Joan’s Pink Lady 1 & 2

April 8, 2014

Starting today, and in the months to come, I will be sharing what I am calling my Quilt Stories, the ideas, process, and client responses that informed many of my Commemorative Quilt projects.  It has been a wonderful way to reconnect with past clients and to inform those who would like to gain a deeper understanding of what I bring to my work.  Enjoy!

“Joan was our mother, a strong, hard-working & generous Bermudian lady who loved her family & friends. She enjoyed giving to them and to the entire community her time, talents, and service. She loved to cook and garden and enjoyed 85 years of a full, productive life after leaving school to work at age 12.  Joan was an independent woman, strong and determined; yet resilient and open to the demands of societal change.  Down-to-earth, devoid of “airs”, she had no fashionista aspirations (I was so proud, growing up, that ours was the only mother to go to work in shorts!).  Still, she enjoyed dressing in the unique and attractive manner Bermuda life encourages: pretty Liberty prints, bright plaids, island motifs, and of course, her coral-orange Pink Lady uniform!”  Read more >

From Lori’s Notebook

  • Fernando’s Bandanas

    This is the second of two blog posts featuring memorial quilts I made that honor two brothers, Salvador and Fernando.

  • Salvador’s Collections

    I knew from the moment I got on the conference call with Salvador’s daughter Paulina and Salvador’s niece Monica that this memorial quilt project would be infused with excitement and liveliness.

  • Bill’s Libraries

    Among the things that Bill’s wife Laurie found in his shirt pockets after he died were peanut shells – leftovers from when he would walk in the park with a book in one hand, feeding the squirrels with the other.
