The AIDS Quilt block I made for Dale. 3x6, made up of words about Dale. The India ink drawing is quite accurate.
An article in the newspaper brought me to volunteer for the AIDS Quilt here in San Diego. For many years, I cut out names with my very sharp, little scissors. Both George and I helped set up displays, and I helped with the workshops.
The words are sewn on a background after they had been glued on. The portrait was painted on white cotton and sewn to the background.

- Reading: ”The Only Way To Cross.”
- Gratitude’s: Sunshine and lollypops. George who brought me breakfast.

So sad so many lost many in their prime and living life openly.

What a lovely piece of work and such a loving testimony to Dale! The AIDS crisis was so sad - so many lives cut far too short.
