History
A wrapping cloth for my father’s cremation; using my textile art to wrap his body in love for its final journey. The 900 red crosses signify his early involvement in the Church of England and for which, he expressed, he had no need in his 90’s. My father died before the quilt returned, so we cremated him in a Shroud I had made for my own cremation.
