I know people say ...You are a powerful storyteller. I know people say it to you a lot on here. It's quite a gift you have to always reach the heart. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. When I was in college in my 20's there was a traveling exhibit of shirts that was similar to this. I had no idea what I was walking into at that time. The shirts in that exhibit were the stories of victims of abuse. They were seriated by category of I remember correctly. Some were survivors of rape. Others battery. Others documented crimes against children. Some did not survive and those shirts were created by those left behind. Man, even today I remember. I would have loved to see your quilt show in person. But I also would want to be prepared for the emotional impact.<br /><br />Again, thank you. Thank you so much for sharing.Heather Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06167107892372096625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772130163577468176.post-73577774493264405532019-08-18T16:43:00.446-04:002019-08-18T16:43:00.446-04:00Thank you for sharing these powerful quilts.Thank you for sharing these powerful quilts.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10020294112107230403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772130163577468176.post-41614761269267999532019-08-16T18:14:06.525-04:002019-08-16T18:14:06.525-04:00Wow, Preeti.
