These are all wonderful. You did a great job with them. My condolences on the death of your father. I'm glad you are finding some peace and comfort with your quilting.

I have my husbands ashes in his workboots. I think he's more comfosrtable there than in a stuffy urn

They are really beautiful. I'm sure they'll give you nice, warm hugs and great memories of your dad. What a nice memorial.

Beautiful!! So sorry for your loss. I have made several quilts for others that have lost a loved one. I think it is such a great idea. I lost my dad last may. I have his clothes waiting, trying to decide what patterns to do. Seeing yours encourages me to get started on his. Thanks for posting!
