"Dear Dorothy" by Carole Lyles Shaw was inspired by a book of prayers and well wishes for her Aunt Dorothy from 1938.
Dear Dorothy is one of Carole's art quilts that she makes on occasion between her more Modern ones. A few years back when her Aunt Dorothy and her husband passed, Carole was cleaning out their house and found a tiny book from 1938 that on each page had different prayers and well wishes from girls in Dorothy's Catholic High School class that began with "Dear Dorothy". Carole fell in love with the book and photographed some of the pages and transferred them to fabric, which then became the inspiration for this quilt.
