Next is a special commissioned piece. Siobhan has bought several quilts from me, you know the ones I make to sell:Quiltmekiwi Quilt Shop .
So when she cleared out her parents home in Ireland she knew she wanted a memory quilt made from her fathers neck ties, mothers wedding gloves, doilies and furnishing fabrics.
Siobhan contacted me, asking if I would take the project on. Of course!
She chose the quilt pattern, which we adjusted in size to fit to a wall space.
If you are interested I made a time lapsed construction video for my Youtube channel,
which I will link at the bottom of this post.

A beautiful tribute with so many memories there, Fly Away Home is in my mind as I see all those tiny triangles, the gloves, and the love from their family. This is a treasure beyond anything.
ReplyDeleteI really love the custom quilting on that pastel quilt Leeanne - think it is the 2nd one featured. But gosh that memory quilt just blows my mind!!! How special & what a keepsake that will become. Love, love the vintage gloves included. You are SO damn clever my dear friend x0x
ReplyDeleteSo much eye candy Leeanne, love that first quilt and it's backing - it is like being under the sea!! Love, love, Love the memory quilt, what a wonderful idea and such beautiful work from you! Very, very clever. So very special for the family to keep.
ReplyDeleteKudos to you for the custom quilting on the second quilt with the flanges. That would really challenge me.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love that wonderful memory quilt. So well done!
