Roy's Memory Quilt

3/10/2018

Picture
I just finished making this memory quilt for my  friend Roy Stout. Roy was a talented architect who designed fabulous buildings that have enhanced the London skyline.
Picture
He designed and oversaw the building of my house, so I wanted to put some images on the quilt that would remind him of the job he loved so much. (He especially loved bricks!)
Picture
He also enjoyed visiting churches, and the cities London and Paris. I was very glad to find fabrics with those images to include in the quilt.
Picture
As I was sewing the last stitches on the binding, I got a call from Roy's son to tell me that he had died a few days ago. I am so sorry that I'll never see him again and that he will never see this quilt. He was well loved.
