A set of tshirt quilts for talented, active, involved sisters who are graduating in just a few short weeks! Thanks Kelly! Iā€™m so glad I got to be there when they got their quiltā€”I rarely get to see the recipient see it for the first time, and their smile made my day. Congrats to everyone!

Last week I was able to deliver memory dogs for the kids, and a custom purse for a mom, all made from beloved, familiar, special shirts. The pups (in plaid! šŸ„°) have a special memory message embroidered on them. The purse includes a small zip pocket at the front, a large zippered pocket at the top, and a pocket-shaped pocket on the back. Thanks, Alexandria! I hope your friend and her family finds comfort in these memories.

A collection of favorite color shirts made a collection of liā€™l pups that are loaded with personality. Thanks, Jennifer!...

Must be pearl snap button season, because this litter of cuties is showing off their own! Thanks, Marlys, for the chance to make huggable memories with these great shirts, and for sending me pictures when I forgot to take any. These guys sure made me smile. Have fun picking out pictures for the necktie frame ornaments!

Pearl snap buttons. The only request was to keep the pearl snap buttons somehow. Oh absolutelyā€”theyā€™re beautiful! Thanks Michelle. Your handsome bears (and ornaments, not pictured) look so proud of their pearl snap buttons.

And then sometimes the right client with the right idea and a couple of fantatic shirts needs memory dogs then asks ā€œcan you make a purse?ā€ !!! Iā€™d love to! Thanks, Kristi, for the challenge. Iā€™m so glad your family recognizes and appreciates the keepsakes youā€™ve given them.
