Memory Quilt


My mother has been diagnosed with dementia as a progression of the Parkinson's disease which she has had for many years. In this quilt I have used photos of my siblings and myself as babies where possible accompanying it with a later photo . Photos from mum and dad's wedding along with photos of the major wedding anniverseries were also used. The choice of pastel colours are more peaceful to those with levels of confusion than the more bolder colours.

Pauline, I worked in aged care for 10 years, and am still a volunteer for some agencies, so I have some experience with people such as your Mum. I think it is wonderful that you made this quilt for her, and I'm not surprised that she loves it. When she passes on, you will have a real family heirloom for your children.
