Dia de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead) is celebrated each year on November 1st and 2nd. The tradition honors those who have passed, whose souls are thought to come back to be with their loved ones. Quilting is a wonderful way to preserve the memory of a loved one as exemplified in today's quilt.

Mi Mama Dia de los Muertos by Cheryl Osburn
Cheryl Osburn explains, "The beautiful woman with flowers in her hair is mi mama. She loved life and loved to dance the "ChaChaCha" with dad, lipstick on and dressed like a movie star. The pin in her hair is her old earring." Her eyelashes are accentuated with sparkling tube beads.
