A little over a year ago I met Jane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Actually, I stalked her at Road to California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was wearing the most amazing embellished coat, and\nfloral headpiece, and I just had to know more about what she was wearing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So I followed her, found out she made and embellished the\ncoat, and that she teaches classes on Embellished Garments. Cool!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then I followed her back to her booth and saw her Altar\nQuilts. Wow! This was an idea I had been thinking about, but here she already\nhad a series of Altar Quilts and was also teaching classes on the construction\nof such a quilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Over coffee later that day, we discovered that we have many\nmutual friends associated with the quilt festival in Mexico. Jane\u2019s work\nreminds me of Frida Kahlo\u2019s style, with Guadalupe and Day of the Dead motifs.\nHer bright Latino colors will be familiar if you\u2019ve seen the movie \u201cCoco\u201d. When\nI look at her work, I can hear the Mariachis playing\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have been making Altars since I was a kid. I would gather\ntogether candles, crystals, photos, semi-precious stone carvings, sentimental\ntrinkets, lace handkerchiefs and mementos from my grandmothers, and arrange\ninto an artful Altar on top of my dresser, a mantle, or on a shelf in my living\nroom. Over the years I added my kids\u2019 first baby shoes, travel souvenirs, and\ngifts from friends who had passed on. As more years passed, I found that I had\nmany things in the Altar that reminded me of family and friends who are gone\nbut not forgotten\u2026. poignant memories that make me smile. Now it is a\ncompendium of life\u2019s memories, and a focal point for prayer and meditation. So\nit became obvious \u2013 why not make a quilt full of these kinds of memories?  Meeting Jane was an answer to this question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
