The design of this memory quilt can be used by multiple participants, such as an extended family celebrating a special occasion, or celebrating the life of a loved one. Each quilt can have a different story. My story is a journey in healing from Currituck to Toisnot Tuscarora to Flyway Farm and Forest in Spillimacheen, BC.
