It wasn’t easy for her
During the quilting process, Diez kept a journal of her thoughts and feelings. She described how difficult it was for her to tear her father’s shirts up. She explained, “I’ve noticed that if I don’t use a piece of cloth, I feel bad.” She compared eating the whole carcass of a hunted cow to using the quilts. “It sounds like I’m field-dressing a buck, which is ironic because Dad was a shooter.” Regardless, she continued to work on the quilt.

More chance
Diez’s only blunder was throwing away a seed she found in one of her father’s shirts. But then, while working on the quilt, a miracle happened. She came across yet another crop! “I had thrown away the first one and regretted not attempting to sprout it,” Diez wrote in her journal. “I felt like I won the lottery when I discovered ONE MORE seed! I’m soaking it and want to plant it soon.” That’s exactly what she did.
