Gorgeous quilt, a real treasure for you. Your Mom did fabulous work.

Those ties are certainly from the 80s. They make a great quilt but can you imagine what they looked like with a suit? That's one style I hope doesn't come back. LOL

such a beautiful quilt and a beautiful memory forever

It is gorgeous!! So creatative!! Great way of remembering a guy.

:thumbup: :thumbup:

I too have tons of my DH ties...most with a story in them. Ex. tie matching DD dress for father daughter dances.
I cannot bear to cut them up. have been thinking along your moms line but keeping them in tack. I will have to think on this a while more . thank you for sharing :)

did she hand embroider or machine them? lot of thread changing if she machined.

This is fabulous!

How do you assemble that? Is it sewn onto a foundation? Do you take out the "interfacing" of the ties? Maybe you can teach us how to do this.

A Beautiful Quilt!

It's beautiful! Quite a bit of work and love went into it.

everything was hand embroidered and the entire quilt is held together with the embroidery stitches

That's awesome!! Thanks for sharing with us.
