She kept his shirts all these years
For years, Diez has been wearing her father’s shirts. In her home state of Oregon, she drove them from one house to the next. Diez’s life progressed while her daughter matured into a lovely adolescent. She couldn’t bear the idea of parting with the shirts, though. Diez had no idea what to do with them, so she stuffed them into the back of her closet. But she couldn’t just leave them there; what would she do with her father’s old shirts?

His 10th death anniversary
In 2016, Diez marked the tenth anniversary of her father’s death. She then took her father’s button-up shirts out of the drawer and pondered what she should do with them. That’s when she came up with the idea to make a quilt out of the shirts and give it to her mother and siblings as a gift. But what is the problem? Diez had no idea how to make a quilt. This did not deter her. “I only leap into projects as I know I want to do something to work it out,” she clarified.
