Artist Statement: Contemplating the ravages of Alzheimer’s as I stitched; I wondered … would I forget language? This "a stitch in time" quilt is an offering of hope for an Alzheimer’s cure. May we all continue to savor the wisdom, poignancy and humor of resonant words, and rejoice in gratitude. We pray for those who may have forgotten.
