Memory Quilts Help To Grieve Loss

PR Log (Press Release) – Apr 22, 2009 – Grieving the loss of someone dear to you? A Memory Quilt is a meaningful and functional way to commemorate your loss. Cloth holds memories. It is difficult to discard. A Memory Quilt is a unique opportunity to transform used clothing, textiles and personal items into a soft, useable work of art and a cherished keepsake that will foster pleasant memories for years to come. In addition to memorializing a loss, a Memory Quilt can be made that honors a person, an event, or an achievement.
   Using her wealth of experience quilt artist Louise Silk skillfully transforms the clothing and textiles of your choose into a unique memory quilt that becomes a visual history.  She creatively transforms t-shirts, clothing, ties, and wedding dresses, into lap or bed quilts, or wall hangings, pillows, shawls, or baby quilts.  Prices for a 50-inch square quilt start at $275.00. Each piece is totally unique and handcrafted specifically to your needs.
   Louise Silk, founder of SilkQuilt, resides and works in Pittsburgh, PA. For over thirty years she has been creating art that celebrates the loving and healing capacity of spirit. She began making Memory Quilts when she personally experienced the transformational healing power resident in the process of selecting, cutting and re-stitching clothing into quilts to mourn the loss of her parents. She is the author of "The Quilting Path: A Guide to Spiritual Discovery through Fabric, Thread, and Kabbalah." published by SkyLightPaths Publishing.
