fabric choices

old Amish color fabrics from YEARS ago!

threads, etc.

greens are leftovers from "other" quilts

haven't tried appliqueing in years so some curves are coming out a tad  rough

fun to do and light is good today so will probably get it finished

 

appliqueing finished

not the smoothest but fun to do

waiting for the quilting

here is one of the tins i tried covering with some of the fabrics we have considered for groomsmen pants!! Each tin is lined with plastic so we may put fun "greens" in them and use them as accents around the house/reception area...each fabric is mod podged onto the tim and can be embellished later

THE T SHIRT QUILT

Here is the finished t-shirt quilt.....

Lap Quilt from A Husband's T-SHirts

Here is a small lap quilt made from remnants of T-shirts used in a memory quilt for a Dad who passed away unexpectedly. Since the remaining pieces were odd shaped this "lopsided snowball" design was a perfect fit. There was enough of each color T-shirt to construct nine "flowers".  The yo-yo flower centers are constructed from the backing fabric wich also forms the binding. The quilting on each flower petal is done in a free motion technique using a pretty varigated thread  from Superior Threads called King Tut and the color is called Jospeh's Coat.....a beautiful multi color spectrum found in all the fabrics used one the quilt front.

Poppy Challenge

Four of the five pieces of the Poppy Challenge are finished, except for quilting and binding. Each one was worked by a different person: Louisa, Chris, Terry and Betty. We each has a slice of a poster to use as inspiration.
