I started this quilt right after my dad passed away. I was making it for a family member but when it was done I realized WHAT I had done....all my tears and thoughts of my dad were in in every stitch. The label says : Remembering Daddy ~ Love Sis..with the date. I will never be able to part with it. =)

Ronna, so sorry for your loss. The quilt is gorgeous - just glows. I wouldn't be able to part with it either ... it's ok to treat yourself.

Oh, you have to keep this one! It's your therapy. I love it. You can always make your family member another one.

love the quilt and nice quilt to remember your dad

Beautiful memory.

It will be a nice remembrance.

I'm so happy you decided to keep it as I think you should as well, a Blessed memory Quilt for you to keep and treasure always :thumbup:

it's absolutly gorgeous

Beautiful! I totally relate to what you are saying. I had just finished my first quilting class when I lost my father this past July and honestly, I think it is what has made the last three months tolerable. Of course the wonderful people on the board here have helped too :D Thank you for sharing such a wonderful piece.

By all means keep it. I recently lost my father and I know how you feel. You can always do another one for your family member.Sending prayers to you.

its not easy losing a loved one and making the quilt probably helped you while you grieved and it is great that you are keeping it for yourself. Not only is it a beautiful quilt but it also has special meaning just for you..priceless... as they say time is a great healer and when you wrap yourself in that quilt you will remember all the special times with your dad.

Beautiful quilt, with love and memories in every stitch. You should definitely keep it close.

Sorry for your loss. The quilt is beautiful, love the colors.

beautiful quilt and a beautiful tribute.

beautiful quilt and a beautiful tribute.

Its beautiful....so sorry for your loss!

Love it!

My dad kept very little clothes...he was just that way. But I want to make my mom a memory quilt out of his shirts and pants. He kept a printed cheat quilt on his bed and I'll use that for the backing and his sheets for the middle. That way its all him. Thats really going to be a hard one to do....but its for my mom. Thank you everyone for the kind comments. I appreciate them very much.

Sorry about your dad. Really pretty quilt.

It's gorgious. Am so sorry for your loss.

(((HUGS))) I would have a hard time parting with this quilt too... Not only is it gorgeous, but also for the memories it holds as well (((HUGS)))

Just beautiful and what a wonderful remembrance :)

Ronna this is beautiful and full of memories - cherish it!

Glad you are keeping it. Just think - every time you wrap yourself up in this quilt your Father is giving you a great big hug!

What a precious memory of your dad.You did a great job.I am sure he is applauding from heaven.Great job.

Beautiful! What a great way to remember your dad. Hugs

The colors are so wonderful! Glad to hear you are keeping it -

Yes, keep it without any guilt. I lost my dad suddenly when I was 18. So I know what you have gone through. I have a fleece and flannel throw I made for my husband when he was battling lung cancer, to keep him toasty warm. I feel sad when I see it, remembering what he went through, but it also makes me feel happy to touch it, knowing how much he loved it. And my older grandkids like wrapping in it too remembering their "Pepop" cuddling in it.

The quilt would be beautiful no matter what, but the tears and grieving make it that much more beautiful. Hug it when you are missing your dad. May you be comforted.

Beautiful glowing colors that are filled with the love you have for your dad. It will always be your special memory quilt.

Ronna this is a beautiful quilt. :thumbup: You did a geat job on it. I am so sorry that you have lost your Dad. Looking forward to more work from you.

Hugs

I'm sorry you lost your dad. That's a huge loss. The making of this quilt helped you through a tough time - yours to keep for sure. Hugs

Yup... Cheaper than therapy and more priceless than gold. Beautiful.

Oh, Ronna, I'm so sorry about your dad. I'm so glad that you were able to channel your thoughts of him into something so beautiful as this that you can cherish for years to come.

Beautiful and a nice way to remember your father. Sorry about your loss.

Ooh! I love it!

Lost my father this year too, I'm mulling over the one I want to make to remember him so I can wrap up in it when I miss him too much.

Yours is lovely, and you're right, all your thoughts are in it so it's already "home".

Sorry for your loss. What a great way to have memories of Dad! Glad you are keeping it!
