memorial pillow finished

Mailing it out tomorrow!! I'm happy with the way it turned out but also learned a lot for next time!

Wish I could be there to see Jennifer's reaction!

memorial pillow update

Recent progress on memorial pillow. Showing front & back so far. I still have to add details: buttons, embroidery and hand sewing.
In memory of an outdoorsman using his clothing to create a memory pillow for his daughter.

memorial pillow update

These photos show progress of the small pillow I'm making out of neckties.
After weaving the ties together I taped them in a diagonal pattern and then stitched them together using the tape as a guide.

The second photo shows the back before sewing. Please forgive the bad photos it was a dark rainy day!

new project

I'm starting a new 'Memorial Pillow' for someone whose dad passed away recently.
I hope this will offer her some comfort in time and honor the life of her dad.
The photos show step one and two: receiving the clothing; deconstructing; and then starting the design process.
