Dad’s Ties on the Bucket List

When my Dad passed 6 years ago it was hard to decide what of his to take. I took about a dozen of his shirts and made memory quilts using Fast, Fun & Easy Scrapbook Quilts by Sue Astroth. My sister, Antoinette, took his ties. For all these years she has been trying to come up with a project that she could do to use the ties.

This weekend she came over for a craft date and I had Amy Barikman’s pattern for making flower pins from men’s ties. So we made five pins and have three more to go, one for each female member of our family. She said that the tie project had been on her bucket list and now she could cross it off. Thanks, Amy!

    A wonderful idea for Men’s Neck Ties. I am not crafty but would like to purchase some of these. Are they for purchase?
