Artist's Statement: I wanted to make a quilt based on a true story about my friend's mother that has always stayed with me. Annie Mae wandered from her home and caused a lot of frenzy for the family. When she was finally found blocks away she calmly said, "I'm waiting for Bill." Bill was her husband of almost 40 yrs. He died in 1974. Annie Mae was waiting for him in 1979. She died in a nursing home in 1986.
