'Lost'



This quilt is for auction in aid of Alzheimers Research.
Torn and burned fabrics to represent burned and unwired brain cells
Wrapped fabric beads
Hand embroidered couching with hand dyed silk threads
The overlay to the quilt reveal and hide the work underneath. This represents the flashes of intelligence and understanding that come to dementia sufferers.
Quilt in deliberately 'unfinished' state like the lives of the patient.

You've put a lot of personal experience into this,and I can relate: (firstly my mother-in-law,and now her son,my husband)
Good luck with the fund raising.....I hope that whoever wins your quilt via auction,APPRECIATES it's true value.
