I am impressed with the kindness that quilters have in their hearts. A gift that will be cherished. Beautiful.
|
What a treasure this will be for your aunt.
|
What a lovely quilt and gift.

Nice quilt
|
What a wonderful keepsake!

What a loving gesture and a remarkably special quilt! It will surely be comforting (in many ways) as she reminisces about the individual shirt fabrics - the occasions when he wore them, how he looked in them, which were his favorites, etc. All wonderful memories in the making. Kudos to you!

I’m sorry about the loss of your Uncle. What a beautiful memory quilt in in his honor! I’m sure this will bring comfort to you’re Aunt and she will treasure it.
|
How very thoughtful and kind of you to make this for her. I have tears in my eyes just thinking of the joy this will bring her.

I have done one of these for my grandson with all the grandpas shirts on both sides. Even managed to find a few for the great grandpas. He loves it and uses it every day. I removed the pockets of the shirts first and embroidered each grandpas name on them and appliqued them to the back.

What a beautiful memory and hug for her! Bless you :thumbup:

What a treasure!

Beautifully memory quilt.
|
What a treasure for her and a very loving act of kindness on your part.
|
What a thoughtful gift, I'm sure she will love it. Don't be surprised if she cry's, I almost did!
|
That came out really well. Your aunt will appreciate it.
|
What a wonderful and thoughtful gift. She will be pleased.
|
What a fabulous quilt, I'm sure she will treasure it.
|
She is really going to love it. How fortunate for you that he wore such a variety of patterns. It certainly is not boring. I am a plaid lover so it is really nice to me. My husband is not into clothes AT ALL and wears things till I'm almost embarrassed to be seen with him. And he'll let nice shirts just hang in the closet cause he doesn't need them yet.
|
What a thoughtful work of art!
|
Very nicely done, and a loving thing to do for your aunt. I know she will appreciate it so much. Thanks for sharing. This is a good idea.
|
Nice
|
What a lovely thing you've done for her. I hope it helps her through her grief. I love how you worked the flags in on all four corners.
|
Wonderful thoughts.
|
What a neat idea! She will certainly love it!
|
This is a gift of LOVE that will bless your Aunt for years to come. Thanks for sharing it with us.
|
Thanks everyone, after I give the quilt to her I am going to send her the link to this posting so she can read all your wonderful comments, thanks again, Lace

I found out today that my Aunt was visiting my Uncle's grave site so I met her and my cousin there and presented her the quilt, of course she cried.

Surely some of those tears were tears of joy too. How fitting that you presented it to her at his grave site. I'd like to think your uncle saw it and smiled. I'm so touched by your story. What a loving gift. I hope the quilt comforts your aunt - in many ways. Bless you.

What a wonderful tribute. I'm sure your aunt will treasure it.
