I plan to use my father's ties to do a wallhanging for each of my sisters. I want to do the Bow Tie block and put four of them together to make one chain section. I am going to hand embroider a little verse in the center..."Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one the chain will link again". I think I can post this saying here since it is from a garden plaque for sale, if not a moderator can delete it. This project is on my list of things to do, maybe 2013?
