Message from the quilt designer, Elizabeth Mini:
Evolution of the quilt: “I want to express my gratitude to the Hackett Hemwall Patterson Foundation for giving me a wonderful family. Creating this memory quilt was a fantastic opportunity to give back to our auction. I sourced fabrics, and my daughter-in-law mailed quilt fabric to Julie Olson in Wisconsin. Julie then delivered it to Honduras in 2022 as part of our mission. My daughter-in-law once again sent fabric to my niece in Gurnee, IL, who delivered it to Ajijic, Mexico in June 2023. After finishing the quilt, my nursing friend, Danny, here in Mexico, drove to Dallas, Texas, and took it across the border to mail it to my friend Pat Barry in Florida. Pat quilted it on her long-arm quilting machine and, after quilting and binding, sent it to Julie again in Barneveld, Wisconsin. The quilt's joyful arrival date was September 13, 2023.
