Hooray! I finished it



I kept putting it off because I was so nervous about doing it. I saw one finished, but didn't see one in progress. This Memory Quilt is for my Grandson Anthony's Graduation in June. You can't see the back but it is material of Virginia Tech where he is going to college. I found the material online and to me it was perfect. Lets hope he will be as excited about it as I am. Sharon Jobin one of the Ladies in our Guild did the longarm quilting, she does beautiful work. I was Lucky, I called her when I did as she leaves June 1st on a 3 month cross country trip that will go to Alaska. She is very interested in our Blogs and when she comes back I will show her how to get started

  1. Kaye...it turned out WONDERFUL. (You forgot to tell them that in addition to the VA Tech fabric, you used t-shirts of his (and his parents) for the front. (Maybe they can tell by looking, though!!!) Sharon did her usual outstanding job, too. She will do well with a blog when she starts one as she is really very computer-savvy.

  2. I am planning to do one of these for my son with T-shirts. Did you mount the shirts on a stabilizer? I'm pretty sure I know what I will do, but any advice would be appreciated. He's into hard rock, vegan, and a budhist.
