What quilt am I remembering???
#1
Often I will save pics of quilts, for inspiration. Usually I am pretty good about marking them to designer, etc. And can fairly easily find it again in the computer folder I save them to.
Now, I am thinking of a quilt, and want to use it as a guide to what I want to make, and cannot find it.
It is not one found here on the QB. It is a portrait quilt, the background is a beige/cream/tan/peach kind of patchwork, and there is thread sketchs of different parts of a woman - hands in one spot, face in another, just the eye in another - and the entire head to chest in another place. All sketches different sizes, sort of blending together. All done in a brown thread.
I have checked all the usual portrait quilt artists, and it is not even the style of any of those (at least not the ones I remembered to check). I Googled "portrait quilts" and of course that brought up a million different sites.
I think it may have been something to do with Alzheimers or something, but am not postiive.
Can anyone help?

I don't know but check out this alzheimer site. I scanned some of them and the closest I see would be "Faded" but I don't think that's it. I'll keep perusing.
Silly me-forgot the link!

Sorry-it was Fading. LT255 I think this is a better link:

Took me awhile to find where I found it!

Perhaps I should email her and ask.

I didn't think so because there's no arms, legs, etc. I'll keep my eye out! I went the the Shelbourn Museum in Vermont when they had an Alzheimer's quilt exhibit but I can't remember the quilts and you weren't allowed to take pictures.
