A memory quilt for my birthday


This quilt was made by Mary Kay Roy, out of my Honey's shirts. Didn't she do a wonderful job?

Naturally, every shirt has a story. I will only tell a couple.

The American flag shirt second from the upper left is his of the identical shirts we all wore on 4th of July, 2000, and also one year to the State Fair. The blue patch in the center is the scrub shirt he wore during the birth of John Henry. On the back of the quilt is fabric with Labrador Retrievers, in memory of Sheba.

It took her almost a year before she could even bring herself to cut into his clothes to make the quilt. But what a wonderful birthday present to me.

I love you Mary Kay!
