A very talented seamstress in Washington made beautiful quilts out of Bill's clothing telling stories that captured wonderful memories of my sons with their father and older brother. Tears were shed as each quilt was opened and then marveled at. Tears turned to smiles as each event was relived. We laughed! Then a sense of healing takes place as we remember all of the great times that we had. I'm convinced that these quilts hold in them an almost magical quality of peace and comfort.

Oh Debi,
These are beautiful memories that will last for generations...I have one that was given to me for Jake when Jim's mom passed away the year he was born. It is a priceless gift that warms my heart...great gift to give your boys and yourself..xo
Those are beautiful! What a wonderful gift to give and receive!
Debi, I'm so pleased that my quilts had such a positive impact on you, Sean and Colin. I felt honored to be allowed to work with you on this special project and am so glad that you loved the quilts. For sure the spirit of Bill guided me as I worked with his clothes, your pictures and your happier memories. I'm happy to see that these quilts have allowed you to truly "wrap yourselves in their memories".
Does she have a link to a website or anything? My husband died a month ago and we have a young son who would love one like this. Please let me know. My email is rwolf8@austin.rr.com, and my name is Kerry.
