Some of you expressed interest in seeing the memory quilt I have made with my husband’s clothes. I finished it this week in time for his birthday.
I have two more to do yet for my two daughters. Mine includes the tie he wore at our wedding 29 years earlier, as well as hearts made from the shirt he wore.

Oh wow! That’s incredible! What a wonderful thing to have. You are clever. I’m afraid me and a sewing machine don’t get on very well so nothing I could ever do. I hope you find it comforting Karen.

Thanks @Crazy_Kate. I do love the fact that each piece of fabric represents part of Richard’s life. Some were specific farming clothes, some driving instruction, some relaxed at home and some holidays.
They span many years as he never threw anything out.

Thank you @Stillhiswife
Thank you @JlovesR. Yes, each piece of fabric brought back memories and love.
Wow that’s beautiful you must be so talented. A beautiful quilt to treasure forever . I know it’s not the same as having your husband there to cuddle you but you can hug the quilt and he’s with you always. I had a teddy bear and a cushion made of my husbands shirts it brings me comfort.

They are lovely @Misprint. Again, something to hold. Nothing will ever replace the real person but still some small comfort.
