See pictures of the t-shirt, photo, and school work Memory quilt I made for my daughter, Katie, for her high school graduation.

To make this quilt, I used a variety of shirts, everything from a t-shirt she got during a class trip as a senior and dating all the way back to a dance class she was in when she was 3 years old. I added photos that I scanned and then printed onto fabric. I also gathered school art projects, reports, original poems, and certificates she received and scanned them and printed them on fabric. I used my embroidery machine and made some smaller fabric squares that included inspirational quotes and designs that were related to her school days.

This was the first scrapbook-style photo and t-shirt quilt I made. The second t-shirt and photo quilt I made was for my son, Christopher (Here is a picture of his quilt). The third, and final, t-shirt and photo quilt I made was for my youngest child, Joey (Here is a picture of his quilt).
