A friend gave me some neckties that belonged to her husband, and asked if I would make her something to preserve the memories. Her husband is a pastor, so there are many memories in his ties over the last 50+ years.
I've had no experience with neckties, but I thought "why not?" and gave it a try keeping it small with a 14" pillow.
After deconstructing the ties, I paper-pieced the four individual blocks. The ties were mostly slippery silk, but in several different textures.
After joining the four blocks, I backed them with fusible fleece and machine embroidered along the seams using a variegated machine embroidery thread.
