I made a memory quilt for my employer's wife. Her dad passed away & she wanted to know if I would make a quilt from his old shirts & hankies. I was going to ask her if I could make one for her but she asked me before I got the chance to ask first. He was from Indiana so I made the Indiana Puzzle block & it turned out very nice. It was the most rewarding quilt I've ever made. He was a very dear friend & I did not charge her anything for the quilt. I made the label from one of his hankies & sewed one of the button shirt pockets on the back of the quilt to store the label inside. Her love & gratitude for the quilt was enough to last me a lifetime.
