Here are pictures of the memory quilts I spoke about earlier.
The first picture is of a pillow I made with my daughter-in-law's (Erin) mother's pictures. I had ordered them from Spoonflower. When I told Erin that her mother's face would be quilted through if it were put in the memory quilt, she didn't want that. Instead I put them on a pillow. The really poignant part of this pillow is that two years later, when Erin's father died, she put it in his coffin for his head to rest on. It fit the space perfectly, and one could still see the pictures on either side of his face. My son said it was the most important thing I have ever sewn.
The second picture is the memory quilt made from the mother's clothes two years ago. She wore alot of funny t-shirts that are fun to read.
The third picture is the memory quilt made from the father's clothes that I just finished binding. I hope she loves it. Figuring out where to put all of the different size blocks was a challenge.
