The Quilt Series in Memoriam is dedicated to my son, Fernando, who tragically passed away in 2018. Each quilt in this series incorporates a drawing from Fernando's journal or a meaningful quote. The fabrics used come from his favorite clothes or those of other family members. The theme of these quilts reflects Fernando’s deep love for nature. As a graduate student, he studied wildlife, particularly birds in the southern U.S., including Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, focusing on the impact of marshland loss. I’ve incorporated many birds, plants, trees, and water elements into these quilts as a tribute to him.
