Oak Tree Memory Quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
I just finished this 6 ft. by 5 ft. machine appliqued oak tree memory quilt for a customer. All the leaves and acorns are made of flannel fabric that were her fathers' shirts. All the tree trunk, leaves etc. and the backing are flannel, the background, river and grass are cotton. The words quilted into the space on the right just above the river read:
"Remembering My Father". She was thrilled, and I am pretty proud of it. The sides are my rug its laying on, not part of the quilt! It has a hanging sleeve to hang on the wall, or it's still very soft and can be cuddled up with.

That is a wonderful memory quilt. How did you come up with idea? Is it a pattern or your own creation? Either way it is spectacular.

Amazing and beautiful. I love this quilt. The tree and it's branches look so real. The leaves are very colorful, and the bird really sets it off. Excellent quilting and thanks so much for sharing.

This is the most tasteful memory quilt I have ever seen. So perfect in the images and done with lovely handwork. A true heirloom anyone in her family would want to posses.
