Artist Statement: When your parent has early onset Alzheimer's, you stand a good chance of getting it yourself, so when you find yourself going upstairs for a "loaf" of toilet paper, you panic. This quilt was made as part of the 2011 Challenge for Courthouse Quilters Guild of Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Recently, a few of our members have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s so we thought it was important to help fund research.
Dedication: For Patricia Anderson, my mother.
This quilt has a Hanging Ring.
