The AIDS Quilt
block I made for Dale. 3x6, made up of
words about Dale. The India ink drawing
is quite accurate.
An article in the newspaper brought me to volunteer for the AIDS Quilt here
in San Diego. For many years, I cut out names with my very
sharp, little scissors. Both George and
I helped set up displays, and I helped with the workshops.
The words are sewn on a background after they had been glued on. The portrait was painted on white cotton and
sewn to the background.

- Himself: Hiding from the kids on Halloween. Work good.
- Myself: Taking a break from my blog for a few days. At 9 this morning, I’m having a few squamous cells taken off a shin.
- Reading: ”The Only Way To Cross.”
- Gratitude’s: Sunshine and lollypops. George who brought me breakfast.
Lovely way to get breakfast. Take care of yourself.

ReplyDeleteI have to laugh at your comment about George hiding from the kids... Robert used to do the same thing!!! He got off easy tonight! :) I remember the AIDS quilt project and your work on it. Amazing gift of love. Hugs to you...
