I made two on commission several years ago. At the time I had some decorative painted pieces and wall hangings in a type of artist consignment/custom furniture shop. As it turned out there was a very short lived quilt shop that had been right next door. The quilt shop closed so the furniture shop took over the space. A woman stopped in looking for someone to make her a memory quilt out of her deceased mom's clothes. The owner of the shop gave her my name and number. It was a very different quilting experience for me and I swore I would never do another. The clothes were everything from lightweight cottons, to slippery knits to sweatshirts. I made one for her and one for her sister. The fabrics were rather nightmarish to work with but the lady was happy with the results. A few years later she contacted me because she had a friend who wanted one, I declined as I really did not enjoy the process of making the first two.
