Memorial Memory-Minis

9/19/2017

 
It never ceases to amaze me how emotionally invested I become in projects without even knowing the people I am creating them for.  This has never been more true than it was for my most recent project.

​My client contacted me looking to have small wall hangings made for her niece and nephew of their mother's clothing.  Their mother had recently died of lymphoma (see foundation info below).  We based the design for each hanging off of one of the items listed in my Etsy shop but elaborated in order to incorporate as much clothing as possible. In addition, she sent me fabric photographs of the children with their mother to include and also requested  a hand embroidered quote that her sister would say to her children at bedtime each night.  

I sorted the clothing and decided which items to use in each hanging for the child's first initial, background, and border.  It's amazing how many articles of clothing and memories are packed into each mini quilt.  I truly hope that seeing these hanging on their walls each day will fill them with memories of happy times with their mother.  

To honor the memory of this special woman, her family has created a foundation to raise money for causes that were close to her heart.  I value many of these causes myself (education, arts, community) so I'm happy to share the link for any of you who are interested in supporting the Lisa Rego Horne Memorial Foundation.  Or follow along on the Facebook page
