I have finally finished my t-shirt tribute to my sister, Fran. All of Fran's life seems to be memoralized by the t-shirts she wore and kept (actually, I think she never threw one away.) Before she died, she asked me to make a quilt out of the shirts she thought were most important -- sort of a fabric scrapbook. Family history and journaling were very important to her. Of course, I said yes, and then she died. Her wonderful Relief Society president cut out all of the shirt designs and ironed on interfacing. All I had to do was to put them together. Well of course I was going to do it by David's 18th birthday, then his high school graduation, and then his 19th birthday. Those all came and went. But I did get it done in time for him to sleep under it for a few days before he leaves on his mission.
This quilt shows the many sides of Fran, personally and professionally.
Theater and books -- the very essense of her life, after her family and the gospel.
Her travels.
The shows she worked over and over again.
