| I wrote earlier about a quilt I made for a friend whose mother had passed recently. She mentioned that her and her siblings would share the quilt I had made. There is plenty of clothing to make more quilts so I am making some smaller ones. This one is exactly like hers. I have five more to make. |
 |
| Sometimes giving is the best thing you can do. |
 |
| 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. |
 |
| Memory Quilts are so meaningful. Loss is difficult. It takes time to let go, move on with life without the person you love. This daughter had some of her mother's clothing items so we took those and made this precious quilt. |
 |
| This particular block was a sweatshirt with a zipper. I took the zipper out and stitched up the piece of fabric in order to keep all the cardinals intact. You could hardly tell. |
 |
| We needed an extra block when she thought she only had 15 pieces of clothing, so I had this embroidery block made for her quilt. Its perfect. |
 |
| When she gathered all the clothing, she had two extra items so I combined them into blocks so that all pieces were represented in the quilt. |
 |
| I also made three shams to match the quilt, two for her own daughters for free. She was another customer that was so supportive during this summer. She would write and check in on my husband, pray for us. Its awesome when customers become friends. She left wonderful feedback on my ETSY shop despite the delay in receiving her quilt. |
 |
| 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. |
