The final stitch
The final stitch of any quilt is an appropriately attached label. Finding the wording for this label was for me one of the most difficult parts of this project. I researched label wordings in quilting books, via the Internet, and asked many people including my family and quilting friends. But I found that finding the words were much like searching for the perfect sympathy card message... you can never find the right words. The special person receiving this quilt was dying, not dead. I wanted to convey love, sympathy and more than anything, thanks for such a wonderful life. In the end, I decided on the following:
"Those who sleep under a quilt, sleep under a blanket of love. Made for Hilton Alexander by Lacosta Lykowski. September 2010"
