MEMORY QUILT
Five Valley Quilters presented John Hogg with a memory quilt on February 3rd. John has been living with dementia for eight years and since September 2019 has been resident at a nursing home in Stroud. Memory quilts reflect a person’s life and this one was no exception. His partner of 30 years, June Gardner, told us that John had been in a tank regiment in the army (REME) and then became a painter and decorator in his native town of Painswick. He’s played rugby and cricket for many years and is a great fan of Elvis Presley.
Twelve members of 5VQ each made a block reflecting different aspects of John’s life and they were joined together by Sandra Elwig.
