Default Machine Embroidery My New Passion and Love!!

This is a recent project of mine for my family. This pillow is made from my mom's clothes after she passed away. It took me a while to get this done but after lots of healing it is now spread to my family members to enjoy. The leaves on tree have a piece of fabric from each of the shirts I used for the other side for all family members. She each shirt is apart of each and every pillow. The cardinals remind us that mom is not far from us, she remains in our hearts always. Thought I would share my version of memory pillow ideas I got from pinterest posts. Thanks for looking!!

You did a fine job with these. It is very healing to bring together fond memories of those who have gone before. Good for you.

Your pillows are wonderful. (Machine embroidery can be very addictive. I love it too.)
