My Dad's Shirts (2020)


My boys were very close to their Ye Ye (Grandpa).  When he passed away I was able to save some of his shirts and made each of them a blanket to remember him by.


Here is the progression of creating the quilts:






Final Front


Notice the "seal" on the bottom left.  This is an enlargement of one of my dad's seals.
(Tseng-Yao Sun - Original seal is ~7/8" square)


Barry also created an original piece of art for me - a collage, if you will, of my dad's life, 
which I incorporated to the backs of each quilt.


Lastly, for each quilt I incorporated a saying from a sweatshirt (for Bryan) and T-shirt (for Jake) that also captured a sense of their Ye-Ye for each of them.
