I made it for him, Triple Irish Chain, in plaids and browns from a box of fabric I inherited when my aunt died. In the blank spaces, quilted three-leaf clovers and 42's, his union local.
His girlfriend stabbed it with a knife.
I took it home to repair and never gave it back. He died in June. This is what remains.
His girlfriend was crazy. I know he loved that quilt. And you.
ReplyDeleteThat takes my breath away to read.
DeleteThis breaks my heart. And I'm really, really glad you got it back.
