Created 2006
My memory quilts began with Sue Liston. When I found out she had cancer, I was speechless. A quilt filled with pictures of her family for her to wrap up with was the only thing I could think of to do for her. My friend, Barbara Lang, helped me create it. Sue loved her quilt! When Sue called to thank me, she said "I am speechless". The quilt says it all. She said it would go with her from her chair to her sofa to her bed. It was her faithful companion. Her husband, George, said it helped him through the winter after she passed October 31, 2007.
In honor of Sue, I asked Good Shepard Hospice Agency if they had a patient that would like a memory quilt. They gave me the honor of making a quilt for Cleo Hicks Williams. This is where my story begins.
Thank you, Sue Liston, for the journey you have led me on.
