Last weekend, we visited our daughter and grandsons in New
Braunfels. While the guys entertained
themselves, Julia took me to her office to view the memory quilts they have
hanging. She works at a non-profit
hospice and each year the New Braunfels guild makes a memory quilt from fabric donated by families of the deceased. I am not a member of this guild. At 1 1/2 hours away it is too far to be practical, but I know many of its members.
When quilts are donated, a sample bock for next
year’s project is presented.
Many quilts were hung in positions where I could not get a
picture, but here are some I managed to photograph.
Here is one of several child grief quilts made from blocks
donated by children who lost someone dear to them.
Maturity, one discovers, has everything to do with the
acceptance of ‘not knowing.’—Mark Z. Danielewski
