To everyone who has created panel - God bless you for caring and a great big thank you to those whose time has created such a lovely web site. While working on an assignment for a Women's Studies course, I chose a topic on the history of women's quilting. While researching the project I came across your site. I was truly moved. I never realized that quilt making is so much more than just an article for warmth and comfort.
Quilts are the woven fabric of history, of people lost and people remembered.
I was filled with an incredible sensation of sadness and my heart goes out to those who have died because of the AIDS virus. The quilt patches are truly symbolic of the value of ones life. In researching womens history in Canada, it would be ignornant not to include mention of the lives which have been woven into history. It was so hard to see my son's name, and at the same time I like to say Thank you for keeping his memory alive. It's is now almost 12 years since Peter passed away, but there's not a day that goes by that we don't think about him.
