Michaele's Memory Quilt

I made this memory quilt out of Tshirts, sweatshirts, and sports jerseys worn by my older daughter Michaele.  The items range from childhood thru young adulthood.  She was a 3 sport varsity athlete in high school, participated in marching band, played on multiple intramural teams in college, and was a volunteer for several years for an annual triathlon event in central California.  She was a Human Resources major in college.  Among her jobs were working at a hospice in San Luis Obispo and the Oakland A's and San Jose Earthquakes in Human Resources.  
The backing of the quilt is fabric called "Effervescence" which describes her personality. 
The quilt is a collage style setting, machine pieced and quilted with a walking foot in gentle curves.
