My world felt "Monochrome" after losing three women friends due to cancer within three weeks this spring. The second loss was SAQA member, Mary Bunte. Mary was part of my weekly Friday Breakfast Club. Her husband Dave invited her friends to select fabrics from her stash. We have been finding ways to lovingly use her materials. The fabrics used in this piece had all been hers. I let the fabric tell me what to do. After finishing it, I looked up the meaning of an "X". I learned that an "X" signifies the end of something—an entity whose existence is over, and it can also mean the "crossing over" to another dimension.
