Annie French gave me two pairs of overalls that belonged to her father-in-law who passed away last year. She asked me to make two lap quilts out of the overalls, one that they'll give to her mother-in-law and the other that they'll give to her sister in law for Christmas. Annie chose the other fabrics in the quilts because they reminded her of bandanas that he used to wear. Along with the overalls are a couple of other items that belong to her father-in-law that she wanted incorporated into the quilts.
