Grace. My maternal grandmother (Grammy) sitting on her porch in the 1950's. She was my best friend. I never saw her wear pants so this photo has always touched my heart.

24" x 23" - Fabric and thread

Two of the fabrics are from dresses I made for my mom: grey birds and the coral flower in the rays above her head.

Denim pocket is from an old pair of Susan's jeans. I plan on keeping treasures from my grandmother along with notes I leave for her. She is one of my guardian angels.

Grace loved to garden.

Here is the second quilted wall hanging I’ve made for Stepping Stones, the historic home of Bill and Lois Wilson in New York.

Lois Wilson’s Desk (19” x 17”)

1st edition Al Anon book on her desk and on the bookshelf

1st edition Big Book on the bookshelf.

Birds and nature that Lois loved (I was envisioning this as wallpaper but it could also just be her spiritual surroundings.)

Just as it is when you visit, there is

a lamp light with the rays, her nameplate and In/Out box on her desk.

Above the lamp the square are the photos surrounding her desk

The blue circles are the sky coming through a window.

I’m mailing it to Stepping Stones Historic Home of Bill & Lois Wilson in New-York so they sell it in their gift shop. https://www.steppingstones.org/

Message me if you are interested.

This is entirely made of fabric.
