Dear old friends of ours, Bob and Debbie Borgstede, from St. Louis lost their son this last May from a gall stone in his pancreas. He was just 27 years old, married with a 2 year old son. He was a jazz guitarist and composer who won an ASCAP award this past year for outstanding young composer. Michelle pieced these quilts from his shirts for his family. His wife is an artist and designed the guitar design for the front of the memorial program. We had this embroidered on each quilt. I quilted these using a guitar and music note pantograph that we purchased at MQS. We made 6 quilts in all. Here are photos of 3 of them as well as a closeup of the embroidery and back. We are looking forward to a visit from them this upcoming weekend so they can pick up the quilts. We both felt honored to be a part of this memorial to him and thought we would share them with you.
