Fathers Clothing Memory Quilt with Logos

A daughter contacted me that she wanted to turn her father's clothing into a quilt for her mother using all his work shirts. 

It contains all the logo parts of the shirts at her request.

She chose this green fabric. I use this same fabric in blue quite often. It turned out really nice.

Husbands Caring Memory Quilt

A daughter contacted me and she wanted to turn her dad's clothing into two quilts for her mother. Her mom didn't do much with the internet so she made all the arrangements. 

When her mom sent the clothing there had been a misunderstanding she sent Tshirts and dress type shirts but had wanted what I classify as a memory quilt with small blocks from things like sleeves, pockets, pant legs. So the daughter had to have another box of clothing sent.

It worked out okay since I had my sewing machine issues this summer. I then also got another order with all those Tshirts that were sent.

The mother loved both quilts so much she took them to work to show them off. 

There is such beauty in this fabric too just really adds to all the clothing that was selected for both quilts.

Fathers Clothing Memory Quilts

A customer contacted me and wanted to take her father's clothing and create a memory quilt for her mother. When I contacted her to mail the quilt she let me know her mother had passed.

By that time the quilt had arrived and she decided her sister would treasure the quilt and would give it to her.

I had enough clothing left that I immediately knew what to do. I made a duplicate quilt for her to be able to keep.

She wrote today and stated, "Your sewing is one of the finest that I have ever seen. (not kidding)"
Very sweet. I don't always make quilts for free, but once in a while a story touches my heart.

Memory Tshirt Quilts

Three quilts for a customer who lost her husband. It was such an honor to make these for her.

She wanted to have an extra quilt so she requested the backs of Tshirts and sweatshirts with a blue fabric for the border. It turned out really pretty. I used a patterned fabric for this one since the shirts were all plain.

She chose two tone on tone blues for the other two quilts. then I took that matching fabric and used it for the binding of the opposite quilt.

She loved them so much and gave an excellent review on my ETSY page.

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.
