style="text-align: center;"> I recently made this quilt for my friend Josephine's mother, Berkely,&nbsp;</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> after her husband passed away.&nbsp;</div> <div

them&nbsp;</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> which I was able to save and incorporate into the quilt.</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> There was also a shirt that Ken had written his last name on,&nbsp;</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> which I thought was extra special.&nbsp;</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> I hope this quilt gives Berkeley much comfort when she's missing Ken. :)</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/55175434@N08/8066560830/" title="Cool Custom Quilt Made From

with a dark grey backing.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The top stitching will be navy blue, which will really compliment the colors in the quilt top.</div><div style="text-align:

style="text-align: center;">Last month my husband's Pepere passed away.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">He was such an amazing man and we all miss him terribly.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">Today I have started on a memory quilt, for my mother-in-law,&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">from her father's clothing and accessories.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I thought it would be neat to show all of the different pieces of clothing&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">that I will be working with before I cut them up!</div><div style="text-align: center;">As you can tell from the items, George was a VERY proud grandpa</div><div style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;as my husband is the one who attended West Point and is an Army Ranger.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">All of his clothing holds so much sentimental value for the entire family</div><div style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;and I'm so happy to make this quilt for Denise (and one for Kim also).&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">For this quilt I'll be using his suits and dress pants, sweatshirts, ties, jackets, hats, t shirts, sweaters, etc. There are so many more pieces of clothing that I am using that I just haven't photographed yet!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Stay tuned for the progress!</div><div

style="text-align: center;">I made this quilt for a client here in NH who wanted to give this as a gift to her mother, in memory of her father who passed away last year.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was given his favorite pair of jeans, bandana, t shirts, Army uniform, PT T shirt, etc.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">My client chose the lilac as it is her mother's favorite color and she also chose the heart pantograph design.</div><div style="text-align: center;">In addition, she chose the "blocked" design with the color blocks so it could really highlight each individual article of clothing.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I also removed the patches from the uniform and added them in the squares, as well as her father's favorite hat (the Oatey patch), and the Town of Bow NH Fire Patch.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are some of the finished pics...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a

being made for a client of mine&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">in NH from her father's clothing for her mother as a gift.</div><div style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;Her father was an Army Vet and has just recently passed away.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">She wanted to incorporate some of his favorite old t shirts,&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">a bandana he used to always wear, his uniforms,&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">a PT shirt from his Army days and a pair of his jeans.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">We decided on the purple border because her mother loves the color purple&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">and we wanted to make the quilt a bit more feminine</div><div style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;since it would be for her.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">They chose a heart pantograph design&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">which will look so pretty when it's completely finished.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Stay tuned, I'll post pics when I get it back from my long arm quilter!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a
