Anita's Memory Anita’s Memory
By: Sarah Foster, Michigan, USA

After accompanying my close friend in her death from cancer, I returned home with 2 boxes of her favorite WEARABLES. Using a CD cover as a guide, I traced and cut pieces from her clothing and sewed them together for the top. I used a sheet for backing & tied it with yarn. My 1st & most loved quilt!

Cheryl's quilted jacket Cheryl’s quilted jacket
By: Cheryl, Illinois, USA

I made two of these jackets at the same time. One for me (pictured) and one for a quilting friend. I don’t know how to sew clothing, so, this was a real learning experience for me. I added the cuffs since I am tall. This was the 1st (and one of the few) things that I machine quilted.
