The story of a woman who made her husband’s shirts into a quilt when he died so that she might keep him close to her, touched my heart and seemed like a perfect idea for an art quilt. So here it is: Machine pieced and quilted, 35″ X 30″, machine and hand appliqued and embroidered. Clouds are painted.

Hi Judy,
Beautiful!
A friend did the same with her husband’s t-shirts — he was a runner and lots.
I’ll get overto see the Prizm show soon.

When her sister died, one of our Sisters quilted a prayer shawl for each of her sister’s children and husband from an article of her sister’s clothing that they each chose. It was very touching. She included a fabric pen for them to write memories on the shawl.
Either way we continue to look for ways to keep our loved ones close.

What a beautiful quilt! When we lost my brother-in-law, I wanted to do that too. Just didn’t get enough shirts. You are so talented! You must have gotten all of the creative genes and left none for me. 😉.
