Heirloom Quilts

My sewing project for this week, is this "Memory Quilt".

She was a beloved Mother and Grandmother.

This quilt is made from her clothing.

My client's mother passed away last year. She asked me to make a quilt using some of her Mother's favorite shirts.

This is my 6th memory quilt. I think.

I love projects like this one. When I am sewing, I would rather make quilts than anything else. Call me sentimental, but I do hold on to things. It's hard to just throw away grandmother's favorite dress, or grand-dad's favorite shirt. This is the best way to hold on to those memories.

Have you ever lost someone, and you just wish you had them there,
to wrap their arms around you, and keep you safe and warm?

When I make these memory quilts, I hope that is what I am giving to my clients. Memories that you can wrap around yourself. And cherish forever.

The best kind of treasure.
The best kind of heirloom.

Now I'm off to do the quilting. I'll show you when I'm done.
Have a beautiful weekend.
