Quilt #5251 - Always Remember I Love You
Barb Vlack
Saint Charles, IL USA Width: 9" Length: 12" Materials/Techniques: Mixed media: cotton and wool fabrics plus upholstery fabric of unknown content; perle cotton, beads, buttons, antique lace, rickrack; hand and machine appliquéd, machine quilted. Artist's Statement: Essential things to say to a loved one who is dying include: Please forgive me; I forgive you; Thank you; I love you; I will never forget you; God be with you; Good-bye. As a Christian, I could add, “I’ll see you later.” I am grateful that I had the time to share these very emotional thoughts with each of my parents before they died. The last words I heard from Mom, and later from Dad, were, “I love you, too.” I had closure and peace. This bouquet says the essentials in the Victorian language of flowers: roses for love and forgiveness, rosemary for remembrance, forget-me-nots for everlasting love and remembrance, sweet peas for farewell. Barb Vlack Dedication: This is the first Alzheimer’s remembrance quilt that I’ve made since the death of my dad in January 2010. I dedicate this to the memory of Bertram Hanson. This quilt is displayed with Fast Finish Triangles. Auction ends on December 10, 2013 at 10 p.m. (22:00 military time) Central Standard Time.
