I am so sorry for your loss. The gowns are just beautiful, I would love to see a crazy quilt because of all the beading and design. You are doing a good thing, you are a great sister.Are either one of the brides maids you? We talk to each other but have no idea what we look like, just curious. Again I am so sorry for your loss.

This is an awesome way to commemorate your sister, but also her life with her husband!!! It is wonderful that you are doing this for him, though your heart must be sad and hurting whenever you see these stunning dresses.... I can't wait to see the pattern you choose for them!!! Bless your heart!!!!

Joey, I'm so sorry for the loss of your sister. Her picture is beautiful. Making a quilt will be a wonderful reminder of her spirit. A lovely comforting gift for her husband. I hope you have peaceful memories of her with each stitch you take.

First, allow me to say I am so sorry for your loss. It is great that the family was able to have this special time so shortly before she was gone. I am sure it is an extra comfort to her hubby.

I have been reading the posts, but had no idea until now.

I was looking for something else, and stumbled on this.....

just another idea for how to use your dear sister's dress, and the bridesmaids dresses.
