Hello Quilters! I made this for a niece, who is struggling with the recent loss, of her dad. I thought it may be good therapy, for her to write her memories of him, in this journal. I made it with a shirt of his, but I do not like the fabric. It is NOT 100% cotton and puckered and wanted to pinch, as I was free motion/meander quilting. Even though I measured carefully to get my pieces out of his shirt, the puckering makes the plaid look twisted, ugh....I will give it to her Father's Day when I give her mom's quilt. I also made some little zip bags for the grand daughters out of his shirts, but they were quilted and made with the embroidery machine. Hope you like this idea. Have a good day!-Toogie

I think the "puckering" gives it personality and texture! nothing to worry about at all. that was very thoughtful of you.

Puckers are always done on purpose. Didn't you know that? She will love it.
