Memory Quilt with Embroidery and Pillow Shams

This quilt contains a mother's sweatshirts and one embroidery block since we were short one square
The daughter saw a hummingbird the day of the funeral, so we used that as our theme. 
She wanted something also for her daughters, so I made three extra pillow shams.
I tried to take a couple of special pieces from the bottoms of some of the sweatshirt fronts.
She chose a denim flannel for the back. It has a leaf print.
I even used a couple of collars for pieces in the pillow shams
There was a vest so I used the inner and outer layers to add some character
I sent photos to her and she was just in awe. I think she will really treasure all of these keepsakes.

Caring or Memory Quilts

Sometimes customers need multiple quilts out of the same clothing
With this one I was able to make three quilts from what was sent
She picked the same blue fabrics for all three
The blocks were arranged in different positions
I put an equal amount of pockets like this one in the quilt in every other row.

Memory Quilts

These quilts were for a wife and then the son who passed away's mother
We had little labels made for the quilt and she wanted them on the front bottom corner
The wife had dragon fly type themes for the bedroom so this fabric was perfect
