Hi Tabitha – Thanks so much for featuring my Necktie Memory Quilt pattern on your site. It’s definitely resulted in many sales for me, so it is much appreciated. Love your site! Take care, Jo
Great ideas. I have a friend that had her husbands ties made into a stool after he passed. Any ideas? Thanks
