Memories to Heirlooms

​Remember when. . . Diane had John's ties?

There are times when I am really excited about how my brain works. A good friend gave me a bag of her husband’s ties. He was this sweet and kind man who had recently died after a long illness. The ties were really special - representing their lives together including their first date and wedding. My instructions were to “make something out of them!” No pressure, right? I set the bag aside until the day I woke and had a clear picture of what to do. This was long before I knew about Pinterest but I had been quilting for years so I am guessing that is where this idea came from.  Knowing Diane’s taste, I bought some black velvet and some tassels and started cutting. The result was one of my favorite projects ever. What I especially like it that it is not obvious they are ties to anyone but the two of us. I feel very honored to be asked to work on such special memories.

When I started this project, I had no idea how it would turn out. I have learned to trust my process; think about the problem then do something else. The answer will come in it’s own time and will most likely be revised once I start to work. It is great when I am given the freedom to simply create.

If you are like Diane and me, you have items you treasure that are stored away. I would love the opportunity create a piece(s) that allow you to live with them in your home.  Contact us and we can get started.
