Western Shirt Memory Quilts

It's been a long haul but the Western shirt Memory Quilts are done, delivered, and paid for.  Now on to the rest of the order of 9-12 pillows and 2 memory hearts.

New projects that have been keeping me very busy. The Frozen quilt is made from my 2 year-old's outfit she out grew. The corners and the small triangles are from the pants. The next three are T-shirt memory quilts. There are actually 4 in the set but I only have pictures of three. The last two are also from a set of 4 quilt made from a customer's father's shirts.

Shirt quilt

This is a quilt top made entirely out of shirts.  The quilt measures 58” square.  The border is rectangles cut from the shirts.  Every other square is a pocket from a shirt.  The Star blocks are fabric cut from three shirts.  The sashings, corner pieces, and narrow border are from three different shirts, the narrow border being pieced.  It took me 45 1/2 hours to make this quilt top.  I designed this quilt using EQ7.  It was quite a challenge to figure out how to make it from the design.  The Star blocks were paper pieced.

I have been very busy

I have been busy making quilts and wall hangings for craft fairs and art shows which is why I haven't done any blogging lately.  Also, my camera has decided not to communicate with my computer so I cannot post the pictures right now.  Hope to get back to this with pictures soon.

Merry Christmouse

I made this stocking door hanging and my daughter, Jenny, decided it needed to have a mouse peeking out.  She made the mouse for me.  the hanging measures about 12” X 12”. The stocking is open at the top so candy canes, or small toys may be inserted.  In this one, the mouse helped himself to the candy.

It was so fun to make, I made three more.

Artisan Festival

Was a vendor at the Artisan Festival at Wisecup's Farm Museum.    Sold a quilt, a painting, and a bunch of cards.   Any time I sell something it is a good show.   Have a two day one coming up next week in Council Bluffs for the Southwest Iowa Art Tour, then it is Applefest in Woodbine, Iowa the following week.  Busy time.
