Increased health concerns made quilting a challenge for the past several years. Not only quilting was a challenge, but blogging, writing and even daily activities. Thank you for coming back and sharing this journey.
It is with deepest sadness to inform readers that midday on September 5, 2024 Bellezza Squillace passed away peacefully at home. She left numerous quilts in progress and unfinished. Some include notes to self on what was needed to complete. Some notes mention to whom the quilt was to be shipped. Others have a pattern folded into dedicated materials.
Bellezza often credited Lee George with teaching her the art of quilt making. Lee was my mother and Bellezza my life partner. In memory of both these amazing women my plan is to complete this work. Below is link to the memorial fund dedicated to this effort. Thank you for sharing.
