MEMORY PILLOWS
Have a special shirt that your dad always wore? Find the dress your mom wore to your wedding or only on special occasions? How about the shirt your husband wore until you were sick of seeing it and now won't let it out of your sight? Or maybe your son's cub scout shirt or your daughter's girl scout uniform? Whether a special item from a lost loved one or from a childhood gone by, It's hard to let go of something that holds so many memories...and you shouldn't have to! Let Lefty Quilter preserve that memory by turning it into a memory pillow.
Description - Each memory pillow is stitched using a 2-thread stitch to strengthen the construction. In most cases, the pillow coverings will be removable, however this is determined by the type of fabric being used and the size of the garment being made into the pillow. If the clothing used is machine washable, the pillow cover will be as well. Price includes a pillow form in either 16"x16" or 18"x18" depending on the size of the clothing being used. A smaller size of 14"x14" is available for child size clothing. Each pillow may be personalized with a message label or left "as is". Personalization is done by embroidery or computer printing (see below). Other memorabilia may be added such as a hankie, tie, patches, etc. for an additional cost.

My client received a wool blanket as an award from OSU for her dedication to her sport. She didn't like the feel of the blanket, but wanted to preserve the memory, so I turned it into a 24" throw pillow for her apartment. She was thrilled with the result!
