I Remember Mama

Copied from WWW.Quilts.com

One of the most popular exhibits in the history of Festival, the three-year I Remember Mama project invited quilters to put their memories, thoughts, joys, and sorrows about motherhood into fabric. It was created by Festival director Karey Bresenhan to honor the memory of her mother, quilter and teacher Jewel Pearce Patterson.

Some quilts in the exhibits have been tributes to the artist's own mother, while others centered on their own experiences or took a more liberal interpretation of the topic. Some quilts were worked on individually and others by several generations together. All came with a compelling story behind their creation and significance.

The final installment in the series also marked the debut of a companion book/catalogue that features every quilt which been part of this special exhibit for all three years. I Remember Mama (Primedia) featured full-color photos of all the quilts along with artist statements. The 132-page book is $14.95 and can be purchased online.
