Memory Pillow

You may recall that several months ago my friend Linda suggested she make me a "quilt" pillow from pieces of Ben's polo shirts. We cut out the pieces but her sewing machine broke down and she was not able to buy or borrow a new one so I mentioned it to my sister-in-law (Ben's sister) Donna. She said that if I sent her the cloth scraps that she would be honored to make the pillow for me. She lives in Las Vegas, NV so I mailed the pieces of cloth to her about a month ago. This weekend, she and her husband were in town visiting their son and they met me for lunch and then came back to my house and she gave me the completed pillow.
