One of my readers checked out my post, Corduroy Quilts,and wanted more information about them:

I was browsing the internet for a corduroy quilt (possibly even a duvet style if that is even common or possible) and came across your blog. I was wondering if you still are making them, have any, or could direct me to where I could find one. I am searching as a gift .

Since I no longer make quilts, corduroy or otherwise, on commission, I was wondering if anyone else made them or knows where my reader can find them.

Let me know in the comments below.  Thank you.

Quilting Query – Where Can My Reader Find Corduroy Quilts?

 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.
