My friends mom has offered to do this for me when I am ready. I wasn't at all sure what I was going to do with my husbands clothes... I thought about donating them but getting rid of them is a really hard thought for me. I'm not ready to get rid of his things. I thought a memory quilt of his clothes would be PERFECT. I could wrap myself in them... it would be practical instead of taking up so much space! I am excited to have this done - but not quite ready to go through his clothes to do so. But in time - it will get done. I'm so grateful she offered to do this for me!

After my husband died, several months after, my nieghbor took the clothing I could not part with and made me a quilt. I love it, it keeps me warm on cold rainy days and in summer it lays at the foot of my bed.
I say do it, it's so worth having. She backed it with a soft fleece.

Aren't they wonderful. I have a throw of my husband's old T-shirts, and two pillows as well.

Yes indeed they are, I was so blessed because I cannot sew a lick.

I plan to make a few pillows out of my husband's tee shirts. And a lamp shade out of his ties.

Hi I put aside his western shirts and othe cotton shirts. A friend is making a quilt of his clothes for my son. I felt it would be good to always have something of his dads with him.
