I use to have my memory quilt as my avatar. I recently replaced it with a grasshopper :wink:
Many asked about my quilt and I realized I didn't have any "good " pics of it, so today when I was at my parents I got some :thumbup:

I made this for my parents , Christmas 2007 after my brother passed away from Cancer November 16,2007. There had seen one like this and mentioned how nice it was, so my work was cut out for me :lol: After my Bother passed away my Mom for a poem about Dragon flies and it meant a lot to her , that poem is on the quilt

Awww Sharon, that is a beautiful quilt!!! It must mean very much to your family :D:D:D

So sorry for the loss of your brother!!!! What a truly amazing memory quilt!!!

Thanks for sharing your wonderful family with us- HUGS, Sue

Thank you soooo much for sharing this, it truly is beautiful...I am curious how you would do pictures like that on a quilt...how is that done?

Oh what a meaningful quilt for your folks! I am so sorry about your brother :( I didn't know that about you.

You did a fabulous job! :thumbup: I'm sure mom & dad treasure it.

That is really nice. I am very interested in a memory quilt. Please tell me exactly what kind of fabric sheets and printer you use. Thanks.

very nice--something we should probably all do for our families!--it says a lot!

(and the quality of your pictures is excellent!--you should do a tutorial!)

This is a great quilt.

Beautiful

What a great memory quilt. Sorry about your brother, however, this quilt must hold such a special place in your family's memories. Best Wishes.

Thank You everyone for the kind comments !

It was fairly simple ( the making process ) I used EQ printables with my regular printer an HP 3520 deskjet. I scanned the pictures into my computer and used Photo quality to print on the fabric. Then because of the different sizes of the pics I used a background fabric to make them all the same size. the one pic of us girls was off center and I could have fixed it , but every quilt I make has a mistake and that is the one for this one , then I just did it the way you would do any quilt . As far as layout and such.

Eventually it will come back to me ( I think , hey I better ask ! LOL) My parents want to hang it up on a wall . So far they just treasure it

:thumbup: wonderful!!

What a wonderful memory quilt. You did a great job. Thanks for sharing the quilt and the pics.

Sorry for you loss, Very nice work on this memory quilt. What did you use to apply the pictures? How will it wash?

It is suppose to be machine washable , that is what the package says anyways .

I used the Electic Quilt printables
