The healing power of Remembrance quilts is really amazing. It's a journey for both the recipient and for me. I enjoy sewing the pieces together to tell the story of the person's life and his/her connection in the relationship. It's always special when I can embroider a quote or saying on the label!
This quilt was sewn and delivered this week. The back has all the Hawaiian shirts and the front has a variety of clothes. I left all the pockets functional so little notes or pictures could be added. I also stitched 3 small pillows. Due to the different textures and weights of clothing I did freestyle piecing & stitching design. These are the most spontaneous quilts and I think the fun to sew. The loopy stitching always reminds me of the long life (and marriage) of a couple and the winding path their journey follows from beginning to end.
The wife was very pleased!
