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

  • 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.
