Segment 9: Life In Stitches
It is said that God gave us memories so that we might have roses
in winter. Sometimes God also might give us quilts. This is if you
are a friend of Los Angeles resident and quilt designer, Carol Bloom
who decided to capture memories in 6 inch squares for her young
friend, Hilla.
Hilla was expecting her first baby when tragically, Hilla's father
died. Carol asked Hilla's family and friends to send her clothing
or fabrics that would be significant to Hilla. When Hilla opened
up the gift at a baby shower, she burst into tears. Small wonder.
Here she was, viewing a patchwork comprised of her husband's favorite
shirt, her grandmother's sari, a dress Hilla wore as Ms. India,
a piece of a t-shirt from her work with the Peace Corp, business
clothing that tracked her career path, and a piece of her father's
burial cloth. The quilt now hangs on the wall in the baby's nursery.
Call it Emotional Fabric. Call it the quilt connection. But definitely
call it a celebration of life, and spirit. What little fabric would
you put away that would capture part of your life and spirit?
You can hear the segments live at www.1410.com by going on line and listening
