That is truly a wonderful tribute to your father. So sorry for your loss, it's so hard to lose a parent.

That is such a special remembrance, I'm sure his grand kids will love it as well.

I made it using the paper piecing method. On the front center, I placed a button from his pants. On the back, I sewed on a belt loop so the star could be hung if wanted. Also, I made a label for the back and printed on fabric. It is about 8" tall....small enough to be used in a myriad of ways.

Everyone absolutely LOVED them!! I was pleased with how they turned out. I plan to make some for his grandchildren.


They are very, very pretty. What a beautiful tribute to your dad.
