Prayers going out to your family. In 1986 my dad died and had been in and out of the hospital several times. I took the pj's that he had and made my mother a quilt for Christmas that year. Also, last year my father-in-law passed away and I took his western shirts and made a quilt out of them. My mom gave me the quilt back that I had made for her last year and now I have 2 quilts that are made from 2 special people that were in our lives.
