That is so awesome. My daughter in law just passsed away from Cancer, and her children do not want my son to throw or give away her clothes. So he has asked me if I could make a quilt out of them, I am so glad you have done this tutorial. I am not an experienced quilter, just getting started in quilting, but I am so thankful for you and all the others who have these tutorials to teach us.
Here is a playlist of the videos I've made about making quilts from clothing. I'm glad you son reached out to you , I'm sure it will be a wonderful quilt, full of so much comfort to him and his children. Thanks for watching my channel Sharon. ua-cam.com/play/PL5BFeXz3XkNkgXQ16r2NxfCltA9hEdQUQ.html&si=vxCSGaelLGa3GKnO
Thank you so much Pat I guess that’s better than being liquid courage in a bottle? Eh’ lol, that’s just what popped into my mind and I had to say it. I appreciate you watching my videos.😊❤️🐥
I loved your striped top, but the teal floral one is stunning! What a wonderful thing to make those quilts and they turned out wonderfully. Mission accomplished! The paired HSTs are a great idea. Thanks for the tips for memory quilts. As a newer quilter, this is the first year that there has been quilt shows for me to go to. I have enjoyed a few and today went to a quilt walk with many of the quilts displayed outside, gently waving in the sunshiny breeze. What an awesome way to show off quilts! Looking forward to your next video! Donna
Thank you so much for liking my tips, Dona. The quilt walk sounds absolutely amazing, like the sisters Oregon outside quilt show. Thank you for watching my channel.😊❤️🐥
@@sisterchicksquilting Your outdoors quilt show sounds like a must visit if I was ever in the area at the right time! 💕 Thanks for sharing your skills so graciously! 🤗🐤 Donna
What a great video Di. You did a fantastic job!!! I had tears in my eyes at the end. What an amazing idea. Those kids will love those quilts for many years to come and will have a piece of their Mom with them.
I am so in love with these memory quilts. I have been sitting on some flannel nightgowns of my mom's, thinking I wanted to use them in a memory quilt. At first it was just too hard to look at them 😢 I miss her so much. She was known by all her kids grandkids and great grandkids for those flannel nightgowns. She thought we all needed them too. I think you have given me the inspiration I needed to get past the emotions and get it done.
Oh, hugs to you🤗. While you’re making the quilt from your mom’s nightgowns You will have wonderful memories and probably shed a few tears. Some of Kristina’s long, blonde hairs were on her clothes as I pulled them off I just sobbed. It’s a cathartic and fulfilling experience to make quilts from a close ones clothing. I didn’t film the emotion of it all. I’m glad my video inspired you, thank you for watching.😊❤️🐥
What a nice way to remember your Mom. This is very much an inspirational video and it sounds like it is just what you needed. I wish you happiness working with the nightgowns.
NO, I wouldn't use the SF 101 on the flannel. However flannel can be stretchy so I would recommend starching the flannel. That will make your block pieces go together so much easier. @@conniearmstrong6030
Hi Di, I am relaxing and I enjoyed your video. The quilts are beautiful. They will cherish their quilts. I saved some of my mother’s cloths. You have given me the desire to start! Thank you for sharing your talents with us. I am learning every time I watch.
I’ve been given the job of making a quilt from clothing, and I’m so glad I watched your video before I started! I’m now inspired to make it a lot more interesting than I was going to!
Lovely quilts. You gave me the answer on what to do with some dollar store fabric. The Flex Shape will be perfect to.make it quilt worthy for my grandson's quilt. Thank you
What a wonderful challenge. Bless you for your effort in giving them a wonderful keepsake. It can not be easy working with only whar you have been given.
This is such a good idea to remember someone. I think it was a year or two ago when I made ornaments for Christmas with keepsake clothes. It’s so much better than leaving them in a closet. Love this video and love you.
Heyyyyy👋 nice to see you in this niche❣️ I’ve never thought of ornaments, several comments were about stuffed animals too. You’re all so creative😍. Hugs my friend, Di
Currently I'm quilting a t-shirt quilt for my daughter inlaw. It has my grandson's little t-shirts in it...with sashing, cuddle on the back. After that she wants me to make a regular t-shirt quilt with their Disney shirts. I'm busy!! I'll send you pics when they are done.
I’m amazed how you took her clothing and made two fabulous quilts for her children. They both turned out great. I’m sure they will love your vision. Tell the Engineer his fan base is growing, I’m glad that I’m not alone looking forward to his comments. Hope you and the Engineer have a great week, glad you got to get out for awhile.❤
He seems to be getting a little cheekier with each video.😳. It was nice. We just went to dinner in our little town. It’s fun because you know half the people in the restaurant.😀. As always, thanks for watching.😊❤️🐥
Love these quilts Di, you’ve done a great job, hope we get to see the third one too. I especially liked the first one and that you found a single fabric to help coordinate all the clothing fabrics. Thanks see much, Vonney, England
Thanks for all your awesome videos!!! I'm kinda new to this adventure, but with tutorials like yours that are simple and down to earth, I'm feeling more confident everyday. I hope to be able to come to your retreat with my sister next year. Thanks again.
Thank you, Aldean! I love your comment, and that you’re learning from my videos, it makes me want to make more. Keep on Quilting and I hope to see you at my retreat one day.😊❤️🐥
Oh what lovely quilts! I really love the nine patch layout . You have done a fantastic job ! 👏👏 . I have watched your channel for a while now and have learnt alot , really helped me on my quilting journey as i dont have anyone to talk to about quilting and i am self taught just by watching you lovely ladies on you tube and wish i could join you all on a 'retreat' Thankyou for your videos, take care from Jan ,in Yorkshire, Uk ⚘
Thank you, very, very much! Comments like yours makes me so glad I make videos, I’m happy to help😀 Thank you for taking your time to watch my videos😊❤️🐥
I buy clothes from thrift stores whenever I see a fabric I like, and use them for sewing projects, but to see a loved Mum’s clothes used in this way is so special. Well done! Deb xx 🤗 (UK)
Thank you for the ideas. I have to get started on a quilt or two from my husband’s clothes. He passed away last October. I am not ready yet. Love your ideas
Thanks Lynn, I'm glad you like them. Give yourself time, however, I bet when you start the quilt you wont' be able to put it down until you can snuggle in it! Thanks for watching. :)
Thank you for the tutorial, I just had a request to make a quilt with a ladies moms clothes and they are assorted fabrics so your video answered all the questions I had. I love your finished quilts they are perfect❤
Oh Heike, thank you for telling me where you’re from! I find it so much fun when people say hi from all over the world! 🇩🇪👋🇺🇸👋 Thanks for watching my channel 😊❤️🐥
A wonderful idea for her children. I wish I had been sewing before my Mum passed away as she had some lovely cotton dresses that would have made a lovely memory quilt but they went to local charity so that's a great memory too. Thank you for sharing with us Di xx
@@sisterchicksquilting No, I do not know Kristina, but I feel like you are a friend from watching you. I live in Maryland, about 30 min. from DC. I just returned from my visiting my son and his family in Minn. We visited Karen McTavish at her studio and had a wonderful visit and saw her McTavishing a quilt!
One word caution to anyone planning a memory quilt - please don't make it a surprise. It can be traumatic for some people, especially children, to see their loved ones clothes cut up. Di obviously worked closely with her clients.
Thanks for the great educational quilt tutorial made from clothes, they are fantastic. My daughter passed twenty years ago and I don’t ever remember seeing clothes used for quilting but I saved all her jeans to make a quilt someday. I’d never made a quilt before but I got the top made, just squares. Still need to finish it. Lots of good I formation for doing other clothing for quilts. I so appreciate your tutorials and get quite a few chuckles from watching you! Thanks so much!!❤
The three siblings will absolutely love the quilts you are designing and quilting for them. They will receive such warm hugs from their mom. Awesome work Di.
I love this tutorial on memory quilts. What a wonderful gift for those children to have part of their Mom with them every day. So sweet incorporating her t-shirts in to each one. I love that touch. Can’t wait to see your version of the Scrap-Berry quilt! Thanks for sharing with us all❤😊
That’s right Chel, and I’m glad you got that it was the engineer who said that. I didn’t notice it until I started getting several comments like, “don’t you know what an A-line skirt is?” 🤣😂🤣 nope, guess I don’t😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😊❤️🐥
@sisterchicksquilting. Usually a six gored skirt, sometimes dress. Very flattering when you have a younger figure... sigh, I is now a bigger figure, if only I could spell gym 😋 *insert way too much cheese here*
Hi I once made a memory quilt using a friend's taffeta brides maid dress and minky! It came out just beautiful using stabilizer. I also made a memory quilt using a friend's late fathers golf shirts... Stabilizer made it possible. These quilts were challenging at first but they came out very beautiful. Thanks for showing me your process.
I sure wish I could join you at the retreat. I’ve had Some sad things happen in my life recently, and Quilting gives me such joy. I do have a nice set up at home and a very supportive quilt group, but you just seem to make things so much fun. I will be making a memory quilt out of my brothers clothes that I just lost this week. Your video was very timely and excellent teaching. I’ve made quite a few T-shirt quilts so I know the process and I know that your tips work. Thank you so much for your videos perhaps someday I will join you on one of your retreats.
Sorry to hear of your loss. We lost my little sister's son a week ago & I feel your pain. At 30yrs old it was too soon. 😢😢 I've thought about asking her to share some of his clothing to make her a memory keepsake quilt but wondered if it was too soon yet. Anyway prayers to you & your family from someone who lost a family member also. 🙏
Melanie’ One of my sisters got rid of all my brothers clothes less than a week after his death. She did thoughtfully gave some to our brothers, but the rest, she thought were old-fashioned, out of style, or too worn out for anyone to use. So, speak up, make the offer to make the Quilt sooner rather than later. My mother did not throw my fathers clothes out until 10 years was up. It’s never an insult to offer to make something as a memory As long as you are, gentle in the approach.
Skillz 🤩 I did something similar- instead of HST, I did the free Moda Carpenter Square. Same idea- chose a background that went with all the shirts- and it turned out great. I used 101 too- great stabilizer. ❤
Ms Di, i think you did accomplish you goal. I loved the quilts. I have not quilted in over a year. I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer stage 4. I done chemo and they were finally able to do surgery and removed the mass. Cancer free. He plans on turning in me lose in September. It will be 2 years being cancer free. I am also a dialysis patient. But watch your channel and others, i am realizing how i miss quilting. Thank you for the encouragement you give. When you use cuddles as backing, do you put any batting in between?
M Hester, Your question first; yes, I use a lightweight polyester as the cuddle backing is polyester also and they go well together with no shrinkage. It sounds like you've kicked cancers butt! And you keep kicking it! I'm a survivor too, March of 2024 will be my 10 year mark being cancer free so we can kick "C's" butt together! Now I wish you the energy to quilt something, start small! Thanks for watching!! Here's a link to my video with my cancer story. ua-cam.com/video/bZZXgEioDIY/v-deo.html
Great quilts! Wonderful memory quilt. The yellow and blue is beautiful together! Great tips for working with no traditional fabric and for incorporating the t-shirts. So nice. ❤ Thank you for this, Di!
I used your first “pattern” to make one of 4 memory quilts that I am making at my cousin’s request for her 4 adult sons out of their grandmother’s clothing. It also included a couple of her graphic t-shirts.
I love the first Keepsake quilt! Thanks for sharing how you use clothing from items that aren't 100% cotton. I look forward to seeing what you come up with for the last quilt. I am sure they will be cherished.
Very inspirational video on how to make quilts from fabric. Stabilizing, cutting, and sewing tips. But I had to laugh out loud at the A frame description of the skirt. A frame is a building type, A line is a garment term. Keep up the great work on the videos, including the on-screen quips.
Did I say that?🤭. DOH! We never know what’s gonna be coming out of my mouth these days.😬. The engineer makes the on screen quips when he edits, we never know what he’s going to say either.🤣😂🤣 TFW😊❤️🐥
I just finished making 5 memory dogs, one cat, and one fox from shirts. I'm also making three memory quilts. My daughter's fiancee just passed away unexpectedly. Love the quilts.
This was a great learning video for me! The patterns you chose look great and the extra picture blocks you added are quite appropriate! I do have some SF101 that I use occasionally, but I have never made a memory quilt! I will definitely keep this in mind! Thank you, Di! I lived in Pocatello 40 years ago. If I were still there, I would sign up for your retreat!
That is so awesome. My daughter in law just passsed away from Cancer, and her children do not want my son to throw or give away her clothes. So he has asked me if I

Love your video. Amazing memory quilt. Most people don't have much 100% cotton clothing anymore, nice way to use knit fabrics.
You’re right, Sandra, gone are the days of 100% cotton clothing. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.😊❤️🐥

Did you also need to use the pella on the flannel? My mom also was known for her Flannel gowns. She was 93. Thanks, Connie

I sure wish I could join you at the retreat. I’ve had Some sad things happen in my life recently, and Quilting gives me such joy. I do have a nice set up at home and a very supportive quilt group, but you just seem to make things so much fun. I will be making a memory quilt out of my brothers clothes that I just lost this week. Your video was very timely and excellent teaching. I’ve made quite a few T-shirt quilts so I know the process and I know that your tips work. Thank you so much for your videos perhaps someday I will join you on one of your retreats.
Sorry to hear of your loss. We lost my little sister's son a week ago & I feel your pain. At 30yrs old it was too soon. 😢😢 I've thought about asking her to share some of his clothing to make her a memory keepsake quilt but wondered if it was too soon yet. Anyway prayers to you & your family from someone who lost a family member also. 🙏
I’m so sorry for your loss Rose. Let’s hope you make a future retreat, I’d love to meet you😊❤️🐥
Melanie’ One of my sisters got rid of all my brothers clothes less than a week after his death. She did thoughtfully gave some to our brothers, but the rest, she thought were old-fashioned, out of style, or too worn out for anyone to use. So, speak up, make the offer to make the Quilt sooner rather than later. My mother did not throw my fathers clothes out until 10 years was up. It’s never an insult to offer to make something as a memory As long as you are, gentle in the approach.
Fantastic job!!
Thanks, I still have one more to make by Christmas 😬. TFW😊❤️🐥
I love the Engineers comments! Too funny!
He was on one today, :/, lol. Thanks you for watching Cathy and for the 3 cups of herb tea:)
What a wonderful keepsake for Kristina’s children! Great choice of the disappearing nine patch block layout!
Thank you Nancy 💙💛 & thanks for watching 😊🌸❤️🐥
Lovely.
Thank you so much and thanks for watching 😊❤️🐥
What a beautiful tribute!!! I really love those quilts--I'm not a fan of "T-shirts" quilts; so I love how you did this.
Thank you Marissa, our feelings are the same. Thanks for watching.😊❤️🐥
You did an amazing job! What a blessing this is for her children.
Thank you very much Randi Lynn😍😊❤️🐥
I don't care for the lay out you picked for the disappearing 9 patch. I liked the first idea you had. Your HST quilt is beautiful
I wanted to make it wider and the first pattern is based on a 4 patch. I didn't want a single block on the side of the quilt. Thanks for watching.
Skillz 🤩 I did something similar- instead of HST, I did the free Moda Carpenter Square. Same idea- chose a background that went with all the shirts- and it turned out great. I used 101 too- great stabilizer. ❤
Excellent choices 😂. Thanks for watching y channel😊❤️🐥
Job Well Done !!💖💖💖
Thanks Jo :) !!
Thanks 😊❤️🐥
Beautiful quilts.
Thank you! 😊
That's pretty cute Mr. Engineer ; A-frame! The memory quilts were awesome. What a wonderful thing you are doing for this family.
I had ot check out why all the comments about "A Frame" were coming in, lol! I can't take him anywhere, ha, ha, ha! Thanks for watching Pbar!!
Thanks PBar. 😍 I’ll teach him the difference 😂. Thanks for watching😊❤️🐥
Di- the bigger the block the faster the quilt is made!!! I love big blocks!!!!
You’re absolutely right, Delores, you and April Story lol😂😊❤️🐥
Beautiful
Thank you Renee 😊❤️🐥
Both quilts are terrific. They asked the right person to create quilts from Mom's clothing. Thanks for the video 😊💕
Thank you very much 😊❤️🐥
What special quilts you created! I love the disappearing nine-patch layout!
Thank you Susan 😍 Im so happy to hear that as I received a few negative comments on that layout. Thanks for watching😍😊❤️🐥
Ms Di, i think you did accomplish you goal. I loved the quilts. I have not quilted in over a year. I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer stage 4. I done chemo and they were finally able to do surgery and removed the mass. Cancer free. He plans on turning in me lose in September. It will be 2 years being cancer free. I am also a dialysis patient. But watch your channel and others, i am realizing how i miss quilting. Thank you for the encouragement you give.
When you use cuddles as backing, do you put any batting in between?
M Hester, Your question first; yes, I use a lightweight polyester as the cuddle backing is polyester also and they go well together with no shrinkage. It sounds like you've kicked cancers butt! And you keep kicking it! I'm a survivor too, March of 2024 will be my 10 year mark being cancer free so we can kick "C's" butt together! Now I wish you the energy to quilt something, start small! Thanks for watching!! Here's a link to my video with my cancer story.

Great quilts! Wonderful memory quilt. The yellow and blue is beautiful together! Great tips for working with no traditional fabric and for incorporating the t-shirts. So nice. ❤ Thank you for this, Di!
You are so welcome Kris, thank you for watching 😊❤️🐥
I used your first “pattern” to make one of 4 memory quilts that I am making at my cousin’s request for her 4 adult sons out of their grandmother’s clothing. It also included a couple of her graphic t-shirts.
Thanks awesome Joanne 😊. I still have to make one more😊❤️🐥
You did an awesome job!!!!
Thanks you Vera :)
Thank you Vera 😊❤️🐥
Thanks!
Thank you very j Mizz Ivory😊❤️🐥
Absolutely perfect quilts for those two kids. Amazing.
Thank a bunch ❣️ thanks for watching 😊❤️🐥
I think you meant A-line skirt! These are such wonderful ways to remember her.
I did Lindy, DOH🤭. My brain in my mouth get mixed up these days.😂 😊❤️🐥
I love the first Keepsake quilt! Thanks for sharing how you use clothing from items that aren't 100% cotton. I look forward to seeing what you come up with for the last quilt. I am sure they will be cherished.
I'm looking forward to seeing how that quilt looks too, LOL! I just need to git in and git er" done! Thanks for watching my channel :)
@@sisterchicksquilting I 'm sure that you are! I love your sense of humor ☺️
Very inspirational video on how to make quilts from fabric. Stabilizing, cutting, and sewing tips. But I had to laugh out loud at the A frame description of the skirt. A frame is a building type, A line is a garment term. Keep up the great work on the videos, including the on-screen quips.
Did I say that?🤭. DOH! We never know what’s gonna be coming out of my mouth these days.😬. The engineer makes the on screen quips when he edits, we never know what he’s going to say either.🤣😂🤣 TFW😊❤️🐥
You knocked it out of the park. I would feel blessed to be given one of those from my Mothers clothing. God Bless you!!!!
Thank you Barbara I really appreciate your comment😀 thanks for watching my channel😊❤️🐥
I just finished making 5 memory dogs, one cat, and one fox from shirts. I'm also making three memory quilts. My daughter's fiancee just passed away unexpectedly. Love the quilts.
I just heard about memory stuffed animals from another viewer😮❣️ You’re incredible❣️😍😊❤️🐥
Your engineer comments are a hoot!
😂🐥
Fantastic
Thanks Marti! The quilts have been gifted, the kids love them. TFW😊♥️🐥
This was a great learning video for me! The patterns you chose look great and the extra picture blocks you added are quite appropriate! I do have some SF101 that I use occasionally, but I have never made a memory quilt! I will definitely keep this in mind! Thank you, Di! I lived in Pocatello 40 years ago. If I were still there, I would sign up for your retreat!
I've made Tshirt quilts but never a memory quilt! Thanks for the tutorial. I beautiful way to remember a loved one.
Thank you and thanks for watching my channel😊❤️🐥
Such wonderful gifts for her children. You did a fantastic job putting them together.
Thanks Susan, thank you for watching 😊❤️🐥
