Vi chiederete: Chi è Andrea?.... Andrea è un amico, un ragazzo giovane di 23 anni, semplice innamorato della vita in tutte le sue sfaccettature.
Purtroppo Andrea un giorno dello scorso settembre, durante una passeggiata in montagna è scivolato e ci ha lasciato.
Aveva un hobby un po' particolare in comune col padre. Insieme alla sera andavano a studiare le stelle con un cannocchiale di quelli grossi (non so come si chiama) che si caricavano sulle spalle e passavano ore ed ore a scrutare il cielo e le stelle.
La sua tesi di laurea apprezzata dai professori e molto attesa era proprio su una studio che lui aveva fatto nel campo delle ricerche scientifiche. Essendo molto importante è stata poi discussa dagli stessi professori.
La coperta "Le stelle di Andrea" è stata realizzata pensando che ora Andrea è la in mezzo alle stelle che tanto amava, che ci guarda e si fa guardare.
Questo inverno qui da noi il cielo è stato molte volte sereno e stellato e molte volte mi è venuto spontaneo di guardare in alto e di dire "Ciao Andrea".
La coperta, realizzata dal gruppo Quilt Italia Lombardia, è stata poi donata ai genitori di Andrea.
The whole post is for Andrea.
Maybe you're asking yourself: Who is Andrea?....Andrea is a friend, a 23 years old boy, simple and in love with life in all its aspects.
Unfortunately Andrea in a day of last autumn, during an excursion in the mountains slided and died.
He shared with his father a very particular hobby. In the evenings they used to study the stars with a big telescopy (I don't know the right name) that they carried on their shoulders and used to spend a lot of time looking at the sky and the stars.
His thesis was about a study in the scientific area, this work was really appreciated and waited by his professors who decided to discuss it (because of the importance of the discoveries Andrea did).
The cover "Andrea's stars" was done thinking that now Andrea is there with the stars that he loved so much, that he is looking at us and that we can look at him.
This winter here in Italy the sky has been many times serene and with many stars. The most of the time I used to look at the sky and say "Ciao Andrea".
The cover, realized by Quilt Italia Lombardia's group, was then given to Andrea's parents.
Qui sotto alcuni particolari e la trapuntatura vista dal retro.
Here some details and the quilting (view of the back side).

What a wonderful tribute to a lovely soul!
It is beautiful, & I am sure his family will always cherish it.
Very beautiful work. I was really touched about Andrea's story. Your quilt will last with her spirit and bring a little peace in her parents soul. Actually, we all are dust of the stars...
Mi sono commossa...avete fatto una cosa splendida!
Circa due settimane fa quiltavo "Le stelle di Andrea", c'era sempre Cleo, la mia gatta, che ci si sdraiava sopra, facevo una fatica per trapuntare senza distrurbarla.. lei ci dormiva sopra, sia mentre lo quiltavo sia quando non ci lavoravo..
Una settimana fa, e quasi improvvisamente, la mia Cleo se ne è andata, anche lei.. in mezzo a quelle stelle..
spero che Andrea e Cleo si tengano compagnia, là, tra le stelle...
What a sad story. Such a lovely tribute to Andrea. I'm sure his parents will miss him so much but will feel comfort in such a beautiful gift, that will remind them of their son. It is such a beautiful quilt too!
Your story is so special, like Andrea's life We are all the shadows of stars on earth and some day we will meet Andrea up in the sky. I'm glad to find OUT about him now and I'm glad to meet you Teodo.
