A dear friend of mine contacted me several months back asking if I could make a Cross quilt out of her father's shirts that had passed away. I've made several of these Memory Quilts and she had saw one and wanted one as well.
I pressed, cut the shirts and pieced this Memory top of her. Then I quilted it on the longarm. I forgot the name of this quilting panto that I used but I love the texture that it gave the quilt.
A close up view...
She was very pleased with the final result and asked me if I had enough leftover shirt fabric to make a baby quilt for her grandson that is on the way. She sent me a pic of what she had in mind so this is the end result. Btw...his name starts with a "H"
She loved it and so did her daughter. I quilted this one with a star design. The backing is a minke and it quilted up nicely.
I've spent most of the day on the couch again dealing with blood pressure issues. Sadly I didn't even go to Church today, I just wasn't up to it. Anyway, I have planned all day to work on some EPP while I have some downtime but I honestly just didn't have the energy to even do that. I will say that my BP is still running crazy high but I am feeling a tad better tonight.
So I guess that is all for this post. I have so many Quilts (past and present) to share with you.
