We lost our 52-year old son to melanoma four years ago. His wife was devastated--she would not let anyone touch his clothes. I offered to make her a memory quilt from his shirts and jeans, and she brought me a stack of them. It made a wonderful quilt, and I used as much orange and blue as I could, since he was an Auburn grad and an avid Auburn football fan. The picture I took of it was with my old phone, so I can't include it here, but she loved the quilt and uses it constantly. I hope it helps her to feel nearer him--I know it made me feel close to him as I worked on it, remembering each garment and where he wore it. My best wishes go out to you!

I had to smile when i read your added post about 73 cotton shirts in you dear husband's closet.....perhaps he and my husband are somehow related. Your idea is so sweet - and such a wonderful way to remember and honor your husband. Wishing you serenity.
