| This order started with an idea to make 6 quilts, it then grew to 8 and by the time I was finished I was able to create 11 of them. They are a little smaller with only 20 pieces and are roughly 45 by 50 finished. |
 |
| I tried to put a pocket or two from shirts in each quilt. |
 |
| Each Quilt had a label on the back that either read Poppie or Dad |
 |
| They contained a few pairs of pants as well as shirts |
 |
| She chose all the same fabrics front, back and binding. |
 |
| There was one shirt that was highly important, it was a work shirt. I made sure each quilt had at least one piece of this polo. |
 |
| Its never easy to loose a loved one. |
 |
| There are days we truly just want them with us. There are so many events that continue in our lives and they are no longer a part of those. These quilts allow healing to begin. |
 |
| Often you can see a shirt and remember a vacation, sunday church service or special event. |
 |
| It gives us something to hold onto until it is time to meet again one day. |
 |
| Parents and Children are difficult looses for sure. I love how the labels looked similar to handkerchiefs. |
 |
| What is nice about these quilts is they are so universal. Even though they contain the same clothing they truly are unique one from another. |
 |
| I am thankful the Lord brings customers to my doorstep, allows me to be part of this journey of healing, joy and love in their lives. |
 |
| It was an honor to create 11 quilts and celebrate the life of Poppie/Dad. |
