This was particularly special for me as my Marine husband was killed in Iraq over three years ago. To have something that was worn by him turned into a beautiful something I can use again, is a gift which words cannot express. I feel like his uniforms are, in a way, back in action. Tia and her warm heart makes these bags for families that have lost their loved one at no cost, and not only did she make a bag for myself, but also for my mother-in-law and Providence too. She even asked to make a beautiful quilt for Providence.Providence is beyond pleased to have something of her daddy's and will carefully lay her quilt on the floor as a stage to dance atop of, as though she is dancing for her father.
Tia has a line of civilian bags for those without uniforms, she also does custom quilts. All her quilting on projects is done freehand, and it comes out just beautiful.
Buy it: First you can be inspired by Tia's flickr photo's. You can also visit Tia's Etsy shop where she'll occasionally list a bag she's made and is ready to part with, or you can contact Tia directly through her website.
