Designer: Original designMaterials/Techniques: 100% cotton, machine pieced, hand quilted.
Artist Statement: This is a collaborative quilt. The top was made by Kathie Holland, then quilted and bound by me to donate to AAQI. The patches are liberated so I decided to do hanging diamond quilting, which went a little off kilter. It reminded me of my mom before she had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s; that something was a little "off kilter" but we weren't sure what was happening. In retrospect it all makes sense that Alzheimer's was taking a toll, but it wasn't anything we could see at the time.

Dedication: Dedicated to the family members who weren't able to see what was happening to their loved ones.
