Remembering a Father Quilt

A friend of mine lost her father and I took some of his clothing to make a quilt.

I tried to find items that had embroidery to show where he worked

I used a soft cuddly flannel for those times where she might want some extra comfort for her memories

The corners are from four pairs of pants, the rest are shirts that she had.

I tried to use as many pockets as I could. She loved the quilt.

A Father's Memory Quilt in Progress

I love Memory Quilts

I am always deeply honored to work on Memory Quilts. These are quilts where a loved one sends me their father's, mothers, grandparents, child's etc clothing and then I create a quilt out of this clothing. This particular quilt is a father's clothing who passed away in November. I found it very fitting that the Lord led me to a devotion yesterday from Revelation 21:4 as I begun this order. I am even more honored that her mother is also interested in a quilt order using some of these same clothing items. I was ever so careful when I cut the shirts to ensure that she could choose from any of them for her own quilt. I even suggested using some backs/fronts so that the opposites could be used in the second quilt. I love that there are two sweatshirts in this quilt, one that is a Dad and one that is a Grandpa saying. I am sure this will be treasured for a very long time. I am waiting for the flannel backing to arrive so I can finish the quilt.
