Dad's Shirts

After my father passed away, I helped my mother clear out the closet of all his cloths. I found these plaid shirts that he used to wear all the time in various colors. If you know anything about the Hawaiian cowboy (aka the paniolo) I am pretty sure you recognize the palaka shirts. I took some of Dad's clothes and made various quilts out of them for the whole family. This was one of the designs I came up with. Needless to say most of my family was shocked I could sew, but were happy that they have something to remember Dad by.
