I'm in the process of doing a memory quilt for a lady at our church. I asked her if I could do it, as she was very close too her mom and having a difficult time with her death. I thought if I could take the clothes her mom wore and make her a quilt, that it might help her to feel love and support from friends, as well as validate her grief. I gave no guidelines and that was the only thing I regretted. She gave me silky gowns and robes, knit shirts, and some cotton house dresses. I have finished piecing the quilt and will start quilting soon. It gave me joy to think about the smile on this woman's face (and the tears in her eyes) when I'm finished, and able to give it to her. It has been a labor of love, and I think that's what will make it so special. Saying that, I think you should recommend another quilter who would quilt it with joy, rather than try doing it yourself. It took alot of time, and if I hadn't done it in love, I would have never finished it.
