The Loading Dock is dedicated to Mary's late husband in homage to his favorite holiday. It was mostly hand stitched while sitting with him during the long chemo treatments. She finished the quilting, through many tears, after he passed. Her husband did see the quilt almost finished.

Mary's quilt was the winner of the NQA 2011 Master Quilt Award and the 2011 IQA "World of Beauty" Award at the Houston International Quilt Festival.

It's a master quilt all right! WOW, such intricate work and such a beautiful Christmas Quilt for a very loved Husband. I have always felt that quilting has a healing quality especially at times like those.

What a poignant story. A forever memory of shared pain and sorrow and most of all, love.
