Width: 8.5" Length: 11.5"
Materials/Techniques: Cotton fabrics and embroidery floss.
Artist Statement: My husband and I celebrated our 30th anniversary by taking a 2-week cruise from LA to Hawaii and back. Knowing I would have lots of down time, I took five priority quilts to work on while on our many sea days. Not only was I able to complete the quilts, as people walked by while I was working on them, it enabled me to talk about Alzheimer's Awareness and the AAQI priority quilts. It was quite the talk of the cruise.

Dedication: To the many residents suffering from some form of dementia at Sydney Creek, a Memory Care Center in San Luis Obispo.
This quilt has a Hanging Ring.
