A recent widow contacted me to create 2 memory bears for her children using clothing that her husband loved. T-shirts, a jacket, blue jeans, shirts and handkerchiefs.
We selected each fabric to use on the teddy bears. As we were going through the clothing I mentioned if she had enough t-shirts I could make her a Memory blanket.
She started to cry and said she never thought about herself. I gave her a hug and told her I could make a quilt with the leftover fabric from the teddy bears. So the following pictures show each piece of clothing from her husband including some handkerchiefs she had left over from his funeral service.
I used a blue jean pocket and shirt pocket on the quilt with a handkerchief tucked inside.
The teddybears each have a handkerchief stuffed inside their bodies. She is very happy with the end results! If you would like me to make a memory teddy bear or blanket please contact me cateifers@gmail.com to discuss the process.
