I have heard of this before, my daughter wanted me to make her dress into a quilt, but kinda put her off years ago,because I have never seen one I have made alot of quilts but the dress quilt never done good luck!
|
I would have to be a fantastic quilter before I ever even considered this! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
But what a prize you'd have when it is finished instead of sitting in a box! |

But all my grandkids are already here (at least that's what my DDs tell me....). Too bad. Now that's an idea I like. |
Maybe you could talk her into ring pillows to be saved for her son's weddings.

Huh. Never heard of this. I have my wedding dress stored in the attic....
|
wow, can't wait to see the quilt
|
I have never heard of this either. Sure would be hard to cut up a beautiful dress with all those memories....

Here is another board member who was going to do the dame thing, maybe send a PM and see how it is going ?

I know it is being done but....I would be heart sick if my DD wanted to have her gorgeous gown cut up and made into a quilt! Her gown had special lace ponsettia's along the edge and along the long train and lots of sm pearls and crystals. I would really be sick. We had the gown preserved and put into a beautiful wood box that can hang on the wall in a dk cherry frame. IMHO it looks much nicer there than it would ever look in a quilt.

I like the idea of ring bearer pillows, and why can't the christening gowns be for "her" grandchildren? :D:D:D
