My friend lost her 19 yr old son two weeks ago in a hit and run accident. He was on his bike. Now she is asking me how to make a quilt out of his old clothes. She is in Fla and I am in Wa. Anyone on here from around Ormond Beach?

Sorry to here of your friends loss. Wish I was closer and if there is noone close enough welcome her to this site and there will be many who can talk her through one.
|
Can you skype with her???
|
i dont have skype but would be willing to get it. good idea!
|
from my understand skype is free and would be a great way to talk and help her with the quilt. Also have her look through somee of the tutorials here with the t-shirts to get ideas to help you help her.
|
Tell her about our board to check it out :roll: :lol: :P :thumbup:
|
There are so many ways that you can help her. If I may offer some suggestions to you....
A T-shirt quilt is nice but may be too difficult to do at first. So, maybe suggest that she collect the t-shirts and set aside to figure out how many and which ones to make in the future. Think about shirts and jeans. A rag quilt with jeans/slacks on one side and shirts on the other. Don't forget to save the pockets for a little extra. Now, this may be going too far, so please excuse.... Make some blocks out of his regular clothes, enough for a small pillow sham. You could suggest socks or misc items to use as 'filling' for the pillow. A miniature quilt that she can have with her at all times. There are alot of posts on making these here. So sorry to hear of your friend's loss. |
Gwyn, so sorry to hear of your friend's lose. You are a good friend to help her with this project. Bless you and her and her family, of course.

Yes tell her about this board!
We'd love to have her here! |
well, perhaps a rag quilt would work. easy, squares and not much work.
