Thread: My 'Larry' Quilt

The memories off the quilt will be with you for ever,
You made a very beautiful quilt.Your story is so very touching.

God bless you with wonderful dreams.

Your quilt is beautiful and it must be wonderful to have this reminder of your husband, and it looks like Leopold is guarding you and your quilt as well.

Very nice quilt. So happy that Leopold has been a comfort to you during this difficult time.

So I embarked on making my first quilt ever. It was made with blood, sweat and tears and although not perfect "Larry' is with me when I sleep at night.

In case you're wondering, that's Leopold on the bed. An angel dropped him off at our doorstep about three months before Larry died. He has helped me though so much sadness and has given me back happiness as well.

Hope you all like.

Leopold looks like his job is to protect you now that Larry is gone. Great tribute to you hubby!

Larry's Quilt is very nice, and I'm sure he approves of it. It's obvious that Leopold likes it... what more confirmation could one want? :)

Great work and I love the blue and white.

Absolutely beautiful. What a wonderful tribute to your husband and the memories that you hold.

What a wonderful quilt and a wonderful reminder for you. Love your borders. Great job - can't believe that it was your first quilt

It's just lovely Pauline! Aren't our little furry faces just the best!!! They love us and listen to us when no one else will. God bless you.

Hugs,

A beautiful quilt and a beautiful story.

How sweet. Love your quilt and story.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for showing this quilt and encouraging me! My daddy's name was Larry. He died several years ago. My mom gave me many of his shirts to make a quilt out of, but I've not yet been able to cut them up.

Maybe now I can. I hope my quilt will be as great a tribute to him as yours is to your husband.

I think that's the prettiest 9-patch quilt I've ever seen, and such a labor of love.

Lovely quilt and regal quilt tester.

Pauline, how beautiful. I am so glad you have something so special to keep in your heart and on your bed.

What a very nice quilt. I love that you even used the buttons for tacking it! Two "comforts" on that bed! Leopold came to you for several reasons.

It's beautiful!! I am sorry for your loss.

I am wondering if Leopold can smell Larry's scent from his old shirts, and that's why he looks so happy and content!?

Nice memories quilt and how nice that you have Leopold. My kitty is my best buddy right now. Always there to greet me when I come in and sleeps at my feet.

very nice

I saw your quilt and I am glad that you could do that. I lost my husband on March 9, 2009 and I still have his shirts and jeans but not sure I could do what you have done.

He bought me a little dog back in 2004 and I still have her and she is so much of a companion to me.

Pauline your Larry quilt is wonderful! I hope you remember him, and feel warm and cherished everytime you use it!

This is truly one of the lovliest quilts I have ever seen...for me a real quilt has feeling....and yours has it in ever stitch...thank you for sharing

Leopold is beautiful - So sorry for your loss. I have a Rosie - she keeps me company and makes me laugh.
