A Hearty Reminder

Hearts can be happy when they remind us of loved ones. Hearts can be sad when they remind us of a special someone who is no longer with us. This quilt was the vision of a widow in memory of her husband, a pilot, who died in a plane crash. It’s all made from the clothes he wore.

In the corners we quilted penguins. They met at the zoo and liked the fact that penguins mate for life and had planned to live together forever. The penguins, the hearts, his clothes in the form of a quilt, become a surrogate to have and to hug as if he was still here. Grieving represents love. Love never dies.
