The very first bed quilt (kapa moe) of Ric Stark, this quilt was designed and quilted for Ric’s mom, Marge Stark of Charleston, Illinois. Mom’s favorite flower (she loved them all!!!) was her prized Mr. Lincoln rose. Her rose garden received countless accolades and was the source of many Sunday floral bouquets in her Ashmore church.
The quilt also honors and pays tribute to Hawaiʻi’s beloved Queen Liliuokalani. Unknown to Ric at the time of its creation, this first quilt has become the inspiration for Ric’s mission “to create a collection of quilts, honoring the life and legacy of Queen Liliuokalani.”
