I searched the archives and found my original posts about a pair of quilts I’d made for the sons of a friend who’d passed away. One of her closest friends asked last night to see a photo of them again.
Making these two quilts was challenging, not because of the piecing or quilting, but due to their emotional significance. They were made from the jeans of a friend who had died from brain cancer. Her close friend gave me the jeans to make quilts for her two sons. It was an honor to make them and knowing how sentimental she could be, I think Patti would have loved them.
You can read more about them in this original post here and here. The brief instructions on how to make the quilt are in this post.
It’s one of the many posts I’ve had to look for in the archives and republish. It takes a few minutes to reformat them but I’ll work on a few at a time, at least the ones worth repeating. 🙂
Patti absolutely loved this song! I remember weekend nights sitting around a fire singing it to the top of our lungs, and loving every minute of it. ♥
(After a long day of watching our husbands drive the four wheel drive trucks in the mud. Laughing at the wimps who were too chicken to try it. Then, spending the afternoon pulling out those who did try but didn’t make it to the other side. Those were the days.)
