Katie Cakes

This is a memory quilt I made for Missy Stevens. Her mother-in-law makes t-shirts for all of the grand kids every summer. The kids wear the t-shirts when the family goes on their summer vacation. Missy wanted a quilt made with the old t-shirts and pictures of Katie with the family.

Katie's grandma called her Katie Cakes, so I cut out those words and put them around Katie's picture.

Katie drinking Starbucks, of course!
A picture of the three sisters together.
A family shot in Colorado (I think).

When the kids were little.

The shirts were made from t-shirts and even denim one year.
Each child was numbered based on their birth order.

I framed a few of the pictures and then superimposed them on top of the quilt. 
I added the purple polka dot hearts as a reminder of Katie's love of purple.

Katie Stevens, a smart young girl with a beautiful smile taken away too soon.
Sweet girl, you are missed.
