Project Quilting 17.2 "Scads of Plaid"

 

Welcome back to Project Quilting ...Season 17! 

This is week 2 and the prompt given by Kim at Persimon Dreams is 

"Scads of Plaid".

 I recently lost my favorite brother 3 months ago and it's been hard. 

Really hard. 

I took an old pair of his Levis that were ready to be trashed and cut out the pockets. 

Almost all of his other clothes went to a charity in town that allows low-income people to "shop" and take what they need to clothe their family. 

Pat, my brother, would've liked that idea. 

I pulled out my plaid fabrics and made 2 appliqued hearts. 

Backed with Heat & Bond, then hand-stitched down.

2 more hearts were stuffed with poly-fil to insert into the pocket. 

I added a red wide ribbon bow to the back so I could hang it on a doorknob. 

A red and white skinny trim piece was sewn along the edges of the pocket. 

Now I've got a sweet reminder of my brother that will last forever.
