It’s so beautiful....I’m sobbing. The way you have arranged the colours and the blends within the squares is just stunning, and the workmanship is excellent. I love the embroidery of his name and even the details on the back. The packaging in a cloth bag and the tie you have returned are so thoughtful. Thank you so very much.

Lynne's husbands Fiji rugby shirts are the stand out in this strip patchwork quilt and accompanying patchwork jacket, Lynne RaeburnLynne asked me to stitch a blue themed patchwork quilt in memory of her husband, which included his Fiji rugby shirts, everyday shirts, as well as some of Lynne's dresses too. The sunflower long arm quilting design really works well with the calming mix of patterned patches. I have also stitched Lynne a patchwork jacket from the fabric snippets, will look great when the sunshine comes out. Here's what Lynne wrote on receiving her quilt; I asked Lisa to make a memory quilt from my late husband Terry’s shirts. These shirts are so very precious to me and my family - each holding a special memory. Now - thanks hugely to Lisa’s amazing work - I have a truly beautiful keepsake to wrap around myself and remember Terry. Lisa was so lovely right from the start. Understanding my sadness and loss she guided me through the process - keeping me updated with photos throughout the different stages. I cannot praise her or her work highly enough. She’s one amazing person. Thank you Lisa xxx
