International Quilt Festival, Houston, November 2001 / "Grandma's Favorites"

By Takiko Hosoya

"I made houses using a lot of small fabrics from favorite ones to ones that have memories. I am now 74 years old, so it was hard to do quilting stitches during the hot summer. I added a lot of balloons in order to encourage myself, hoping to stay healthy and continuing volunteer work and sports."
