Elaina's memory quilt

 Another addition to my "portfolio" of memory Quilts...

This project came about during a casual conversation with a friend. I had just finished the last Memory quilt project and her face lit up. She had been looking for someone to do a t-shirt quilt for her youngest daughter who had graduated from High School the year before. She had been feeling a bit guilty because her 2 older children had gotten similar quilts for their graduation gifts.

This project was fun but also a challenge. I had not done a quilt of this size and I needed to do different size blocks to accommodate as many of the shirts / memorabilia as possible.  I was more  than pleased with the results :)

If you know of anyone looking for something like this or my other memory quilts let me know.

Please know I take these projects very seriously. These are your memories after all and I will do my best to preserve them and show them off the best I can.

Bottle Tote

I have had the idea for this for a while... My Girl Loved it!

I made it out of the leftovers of a pair of jeans that I had cut off the legs after the knee blew out. I made shorts out of the top of the jeans for my girl and could not bring myself to throw out this pretty embroidery. Blue also happens to be my girls favorite color :)  The strap is from an old pair of my jeans that had worn out beyond repair.
