Stuff.... or great memories?

As we move through life we tend to accumulate a lot of stuff. Sometimes it's just junk. But sometimes that "stuff" is packed with memories that are too dear to part with. And when the memories clash with the space available to store them -- we have a problem.

But there are solutions! And they don't involve sorting, organizing, finding storage space and repeating the process every few years.

Memory quilts. 

Here's an example using a favorite shirt from a friend who is a Betty Boop fan. She had drawers of  T-shirts, nightshirts, socks.

 I took one shirt, added some 30s reproduction fabrics and now she has a  memory quilt. Lap size. Or it could be a wall hanging.  

And the rest of the worn out shirts -- bye bye. It's no longer necessary to keep them when you have a great memory quilt like this.
