After completing quilts for both Chad and Scott….do you remember….made from t-shirts I kept after their dad died. Each quilt was made from more than 45 shirts, 12 x 12 squares or pieces formed into that size. My lovely neighbor sewed the pieces together after I pinned them in the order I wanted. Then I used batting and a backing and hand-sewed them together….YOW! I am. not. a seamstress and therefor wrecked my fingers on each quilt. BUT I loved that I could give each boy a lovely memory quilt to remind them of their most awesome father:)))
Here is Scott’s
7' across and 7' down!!!
And here is Chad’s
same size
After giving my fingers a break, I decided I needed a quilt of my own. So combining F2′s shirts with some of my old shirts also…here is the front of my quilt. I haven’t decided yet what to do with the back…less than I did with the boys, I think.
this was how I started...
good, huh?
And then some up close and personal views…do you recognize any of these??
for my Monfort buddies...and Dave and Jodi:)
for F2's Teke buddies
for my Alpha Chi sisters
for remembering the Crary and Fink boat:)
Memories of all kinds….that’s what it’s all about!!! Make sure you keep every memory you might want later…time is fleeting!! Love my quilt:)))
Happy Parenting!
