life story
"Quilts are stitched with the threads of memory, love, and legacy. Each piece lovingly chosen, each stitch carefully placed, they tell a story that transcends time—reflecting not just a person’s skill with the needle but their heart. In these quilts, we see the colors of her soul and the patterns of her love, a lasting embrace that continues to warm us even in her absence." —Kyra E. Hicks
