    Default Memory T-Shirt Quilt

    Last year I started a sewing and quilting business. Toward the end of last year, I was hired to make three memory quilts from the same woman. The first two quilts were made of t-shirts that her late FIL had worn in his lifetime. She asked me to make them into quilts for her two nieces, who were very close with their grandfather. He always attended their music recitals and were grieving terribly. She wanted to present these quilts to her nieces for Christmas.

    The last quilt is made of fabrics from her Grandmother in Law. She wanted a quilt made from this woman's clothes so that she could give it to her MIL, the daughter of the late Grandmother in Law. Her MIL and GMIL had shared a passion for wine, as two Italian women should, lol. Thanks for looking!
