After writing Memory Quilts with Neckties, I received inquiries from Barbara and Patty with questions about making pillows and throws from neckties.  I’ll post their queries below and hope some of you have some suggestions, even patterns.

Barbara asked:

I am interested in finding someone who could make 3 memory pillows out of neckties from my deceased husband. I have 2 teenaged sons and each of us would like a memory pillow.

Patty’s question:

I am looking for a person who would be interested in making a throw from neckties.  My husband is retiring and I would like to have all his ties made into a quilt/throw.

Also, there may be other quilters who would like to make these items for themselves from neckties as a way of preserving memories.  So if you’ll share with us your experiences with necktie quilts, pillows, throws, etc., it would be appreciated.
