Dad's Ties, literally - This was my grief quilt after my father passed away in 2000. My mom gave me all of his neckties, and I filled out the rest with neck ties from my husban, brother, and brother-in-laws. The best part was whenthe quilt was complete and my sisters leaned close and said "Look! there is the tie my husband wore on our wedding day!", "Look! there is dad's choir tie!"
