Pillowcases for Cousins


My grandaughter Alex, and her cousin Danielle were recipients of pillowcases this Easter. I've made dozens of these as they made great gifts in a hurry.

T-shirt Quilt


Well, it took me long enough. As you can see by the dates on this T-shirt quilt, they have been sitting in my sewing room since at least 1982.. This is a quilt for my husband from some of the conferences, events, workshops, etc, he attended. He worked for USDA for 36 years and collected lots and lots of t-shirts. I liked how it came out. I may look around and see if I have any of my own. This is a very cozy quilt. I used cotton backing and Hobbs 80/20 batting. Did a little quilting and it was finished. Why didn't I do it sooner??? I also backed each t-shirt with a lightweight fusible to give it some body.

I am very happy I was able to create my signature. Took me, my daughter and son almost an hour to figure it out, but it worked. Now I have to remember to space down before each post so it shows up. As ever,
