I would gladly make you any type of block (I am a pretty good intermediate quilter) that doesn't involve embroidery if you could make me an embroidered block for my father's memory quilt. Please let me know if you would be willing to swap with me.
Wholeheart Mom:
I can feel your pain and confusion as I lost my Dad about 3 months ago. He lived with us for over a year and was my sewing buddy.
If you'd like to send me a piece of one of his shirts and his name I'd be happy to embroider something for you. If you want to have his full name, birthdate, date he passed, wedding date, or whatever you wish, please send me a private message and we can discuss it.
I am so sorry for your loss ... they tell me it will get easier and I cling to his happy memories and laugh often at things I know he'd appreciate.
