Two Completed Memory Tops
2 Attachment(s)
Now to quilt them! These are made entirely from the clothes of a young man very close to our family. He was a firefighter but was killed in a car wreck a few years ago. His mom and brother are getting these quilts. THey will both have a plain black binding around them after quilting.

Great memory tops!

Those are fabulous! Are those parts of ball caps I see on some of the squares? So creative!
|
Those are neat, sewbiz! I really like the addition of the pockets.

Those are wonderful memory quilts for the young man's mom and brother.
|
Really great, I like the way in used regular fabric shirts, T shirts and jeans together. I'm sure they will be treasured.
|
You did a great job! I sure don't envy you the job of quilting them!
|
Yes, those are ball cap emblems you see. They gave me every bit of his clothing they had left, and it was barely enough to stretch to make 2. His mom did keep his dress blue fireman's shirt, and will be having it shadowboxed, I think.
Thank you for your kindness. I'm hoping these bring love and comfort to the family. |
Would you please thank his family for the great service he did for so many in his community. I know his family will love these quilts. You will bring them great joy. They are lovely and well made with heartfelt memories. Thanks for sharing.

What a kind and generous gift for the family struggling through a tragedy. I love how you incorporated the caps, collars, plackets etc. to make it more interesting and meaningful. Great job and my condolences to the family.

Wonderful memories for them!
|
Very different than I have ever seen before showbizgal. How cool they are.
|
Very thoughtful of you to make these. So sorry for the loss of this man. Very nice memory quilts.

Wonderful memory quilts. It will be a great gift to the Mom and Brother to have some kind of memory everytime they look at these quilt. They can each wrap the quilts around their shoulders and get a hug from their family member.

Great job!! They will be treasured!!!! I made a quilt from my brother's neckties and sent it to his daughter, my niece. She text me that it arrived and said thanks. Then an hour later, she called me. She said she was too busy hugging it and crying to talk right away. Theses are treasured memories. you gave them each a warm hug from their loved one. Feel proud of what you did.

They will cherish the quilts. What a tragedy. So nice of you to help them out.
