Based on what I've read about her and what Klue just posted, I think she did the quilt to keep her sanity...her life sure must have had enough stress... :(

That's all pretty sad. :(

I haven't posted to this .. but I am doing the DJ with all of you... I told Klue awhile back.
Mine will be from my scrap stash!

i think her life sounds sad too. i like to believe she would be very joyful to know how much she is loved today.

the "Janiacs" had a fund raiser and paid to put a beautiful headstone at her grave site.

i've been toying with the idea of doing a rubbing of the stone and using it for my quilt backing.

i live in sleepy hollow - headstone rubbings are commonplace here - its like painting a landscape painting in another town. on any given day you'll find 2-3 people in our cemetery doing rubbings.

ever hear just a couple words of a conversation and then conjure up some really interesting scenarios?

Bad Bear! Bad Bear!

LMAO

you naughty, naughty bear

I agree. :-)

What a sad life, and yet such a strong legacy. I think knowing this makes the quilt even more special.

The batik and fossel fern is just beautiful!. I think I would also like to do one in batiks and white or off white as background. I did A-1 in a green batik and really liked it.
I will take a picture and try to post it.
