Memories to Heirlooms

Remember When . . . Dad wore his Sunday best?

An assortment of Diane's Dad's ties.
​It was a privilege and pleasure to create heirloom pillows from Diane's Dad's ties.  She told me, "Dad lived his faith and, for Sunday worship, he was old school; dress pants and shirt in a nice jacket and tie, no casual dress for him.  Mom often commented about his tie choices because they always clashed with his jackets. You know she was right."

I love hearing these stories, and it helps inform how I create each piece.  Once we decided on a design, I got to work.

Creative Process

An assortment of cotton button-down shirts.
We decided to use one of his shirts as a background for each pillow.  
A rectangular pillow with diamond shape design of ties radiating out from a center diamond. The center has the initials KES.  The background is a light blue shirt.
 ​I created four groupings of ties, one for each pillow and embroidered his initials for the center piece.
Back of the pillow.  Zipper is bordered by a clashing tie.
The necktie on the back clashed with the ties on the front, a nod to his fashion sense. 

Finished Heirlooms

I hope these pillows provide comfort and fond memories of this wonderful man.
