I had big plans to quilt my sister a blanket made from all her fun, old t-shirts from childhood and high school before she went away to college. Never did get around to it though. Still this guest book alternative sounds so pretty and moving. Thanks for sharing...and I'll definitely be stopping by your blog in the future too!Erin Nowak, Designer and Illustratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09858631998582617914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11213847.post-4841180829821022192008-07-20T16:47:00.000-04:002008-07-20T16:47:00.000-04:00At a friend's wedding she sent out a 10"x10" piece...At a friend's wedding she sent out a 10"x10" piece of white silk with her invitation that was in a sweet little package with a note that asked each guest (or couple) to bring it to the wedding personalized. Some simply brought back a dyed piece, some stitched a saying, some hand painted a memory that they had all shared, and some just had little buttons and beads attached. Each one had the name of the guest pinned to it and at the wedding that was at a gorgeous country garden, there was a rod set up and the squares were pinned one by one by the guests into a quilt for all to look at. Later, her mother embroidered the names onto the corner of each square and turned them into a beautiful quilt for the couple's bedroom. Definitely a unique piece and memories that will last forever. Not to mention something useful!andrea of fffthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410703730972229056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11213847.post-48852439189033905152008-07-16T20:54:00.000-04:002008-07-16T20:54:00.000-04:00Stephanie: Love that idea!

I love the stamps, cancellations, the messages and the memories, as much as the International locales.<BR/><BR/>Isha: I'm going to keep the theme of "sharing" in mind as I set about creating new designs. Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Carey: "If only the Internet then had been more like today!" You said it sister!! The sad thing is I got married 5 years ago and I still don't think there was as much stuff out there then as there is today.
