Click on picture to enlarge	This quilt is made up of 25 pockets from the fronts of men's shirts. The diagonal elements on the corners of the quilt are made from the plackets of the same shirts. Personal Note: This pattern was designed after a quilting friend asked me if I had a pattern that would be suitable for making a quilt using her late husband's shirts. Once the sample quilt was completed, I began hearing how MANY people had been saving their father's or husband's shirts for a quilt. Some people are making quilts for the children and grandchildren of the loved one, and some of the quilts are going to other family members with special memories of the one who wore the shirts. I am most thankful to the friend who asked me about a pattern for her memory quilt, because I would not have designed this particular one, otherwise. I truly believe this pattern is filling a special need in the hearts of many who have held onto those special items of clothing. Other ideas for this pattern: * Some people are making this quilt for Christmas -- using the 25 pockets to "hide surprises" - one for each day, as a countdown to Christmas. This would be a good way to use your scraps of Christmas fabric from other projects, OR a reason to buy some of the gorgeous new Christmas fabrics that are currently available. * Make one for a dorm room wall and use it as storage for small items.                              * Use this quilt in a baby's room -- from fabrics that match the decor -- to hold all of those baby items -- lotion, powder, pacifiers, toys, thermometer, etc. * Use it in a bathroom -- you KNOW how many items are in there that could be placed in a pocket to free up some counter space. The quilt could even be attached to a shower curtain, if wall space is limited.

This quilt was made with sections of the same shirts from which the Memory Pockets quilt (above) was made. With different clothing or fabrics, it would make a wonderful memory quilt for a woman, as well. New fabrics, treasured clothing, or scraps from your previous projects -- they will ALL look great in this versatile wall hanging.

	This pattern contains 4 different styles of frames which may be filled with any number of items. One of mine has items from the drawers of the treadle sewing machine that I inherited from my grandmother. Another one has one of my mother's hand-made yo-yos, some small crocheted items, and a few buttons from her collection. Other ideas for items to put in the frames would be photographs, baby items, a brooch collection, men's pins from various organizations, pins from quilt shows, badges, band medals, veteran's medals, and the list goes on! Depending on the item, you may sew through it, or secure it with several strands of clear nylon thread. Just prepare as many frames as you have items to display. To make the wall hanging even more personal, choose fabrics that remind you of a special person. Or even better, use an item of their clothing for the background or the picture frames. Another option for this pattern would be to place some clear plastic behind the frame, and leave the top edge open so that small items may be placed in, or removed from, the opening. This would make a great gift for a special child or college student. Just leave the frames empty and allow them to "fill" their own. The possibilities are endless! Use your imagination and have some fun with this one!
