ADEC: An Amazing Resource

April 14, 2015

'Marjorie's Dance,' a memorial quilt designed by Lori Mason

Last week I exhibited my memorial quilts at the 2015 Association for Death Education and Counseling (ADEC) Conference in San Antonio. It was a completely new experience for me to be sharing my work in this capacity. My audience consisted of a varied group of professionals working in the field of death, dying, and bereavement – an audience that was immediately receptive to the idea of memorial quilts. I asked them as many questions about their work as they did mine, filling the time with a lively exchange of information. Read more >

Quilt Story: Remembering Lewis

April 21, 2014

Lewis-full-web

“I had wanted Lori to make a memorial quilt for years. My mother was in possession of a box of my father’s shirts she had erringly convinced herself were all “taupe”. It was a pleasure to turn over the garments to someone who truly cherishes and understands textiles. I was a recipient of sometimes daily emails and photos that tracked her progress and included me in details of the work. These emails and photos were so compelling that I ended up forwarding them to many relatives, and we all enjoyed watching the quilt come together through the ether. The quilt now lives on my bed, and just the other day as I lay awake in the dark, I was feeling the different textures of the fabrics side by side and realizing there was still more to explore about my beautiful quilt even with my eyes closed.”  – Amanda (Lewis’ daughter) Read more >

From Lori’s Notebook

  • Fashionista Florida Tartans

    When Chip’s wife, Kate, first contacted me to discuss making memorial quilts for Chip’s children, she assured me that I would love the collection of shirts she was sending because Chip was “a total fashionista”.

  • Aurelio’s Chimes

    For all of the memorial quilts I have made so far, I always feel a sweet sort of sadness that I will never get the chance to meet the people who are being honored through my work.

  • Honoring a Theater Man

    According to Tom’s wife Catherine, Tom never took on a project without jumping in full throttle.
