I am so very sorry for the loss of your Mom. I lost my Mom 6 years ago and know the hurt you feel. I love your pillow and what a sweet and priceless way to remember two special people in your life.

That is such a beautiful pillow and a wonderful memory. I want to try something like that I think it so nice. Great gift. Sue

Alzheimer's is such a difficult disease. What a beautiful pillow...a great way to have your Mother's smile live on...

She does have a wonderful smile and what a sweet pillow for your father. Your Mother looks like she is just beaming in the picture. I bet you have the same smile.

So sorry for your loss. This is a wonderful idea to do for yourself and your dad. I bet she was a wonderful lady.

Sorry for your loss, however what a precious way to preserve the memory of a love one.

Pauline, don't let others' words discourage you. Make the pillows! Working with the fabric of your mom's clothes will help you, even after all this time has passed.

When others in my family didn't want quilts made from my dad's shirts, I made them anyway. I gently folded each quilt, wrapped them in tissue and placed them in nice storage boxes. Two years later, I gave each of my sons one of the quilts for Christmas. As soon as they opened the box, I explained that these were not quilts to use, they were 'memory quilts' of Granddad to be touched when they needed a connection with him. Their relief was evident. And enough time had passed...they were ready to see the quilts. We spent time looking at the quilts and the blocks that represented Dad. I heard a lot of "I remember....." So, make your pillows. The right time will come to present them to your family.

What a tribute to mom and GM!! Wonderful!

A lovely, thoughtful project. I can see it hugged and snuggled.

Beautiful.....
