Five years ago I made a small flower bouquet quilt in memory of my Dad, who passed away in 2011.  The black and white music note fabric is from a night shirt I made him in his last year.  The blue inner border is the ribbon colour for prostate cancer.

I made it in the style of Yvonne Porcella, a wonderful and colourful quilt artist and one of the founders of SAQA.




As I was working on making flowers from the varied techniques presented this year I thought of putting them together into another flower bouquet quilt in memory of my Mom.

My mother, Audrey, was 97 when she passed away in December 2020.  She had been struggling with dementia for many years, and in spite of fading mentally she was quite healthy.  But Covid 19 was just more than she could fight.

The thin purple border is the ribbon colour for dementia.
