THIS IS MY GUY

I work with a counselor to make memory bears for clients who are grieving. Because of privacy policies, I never know who the recipient is.  This pillow was made from a white T-shirt with the picture of the person's husband affixed on the front. 

It's hard to see the colors I chose in this picture. But I chose a soft blue fabric for two borders and a soft white/off white fabric for the center border. I hope they are comforting colors for the person.  I used a nice fluffy pillow form to put the pillow cover over. 

I didn't take a picture of the back, but I used the back of the T-shirt and a little bit of the soft blue for the backing.  

Bonnie's Bears and Dook's Memory Pillow

A good friend's daughter-in-law contacted me to make bears from her grandmother's tops and a memory pillow from her grandfather's T-shirt.  I don't know much about Bonnie or Dook, but the love from their granddaughter really showed.

Back of the memory pillow. I used the front of the T-shirt to make the backing of the pillow and the image from the back of the T-shirt to make the front of the pillow. I always try to use as much of the article of clothing as I possibly can. 

I hope the people these bears and pillow go to like them!
