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.
