KATIES first sewing piece

My Grandaughter Katie was going thru my scraps and asked if she could make something and I said, sure you can. She decided on a House and picked out some pieces. I then showed her how to thread a needle, how to knot it and how to do a basic stitch. The picture is her finished product, note the crooked chimney, and her letter to me after.It says "Quiltings fun Nana,tech me more. I learned so much about quilting because of you!! Thank You Nana!! Love, your Grandoter Katie at the end she wrote to:Nana. I framed it and it hangs proudly on the wall where I sew. (I wrote as she did, mistakes and all) Don't you just Love It?

T-Shirt Memory Quilt

Have any of you made a memory quilt with the t-shirts? Time to get started on one as my Grandson is graduating in June and I want to surprise him with it. If you have done one any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated. I have 2 different ones I can do. To size the shirts one uses fusible interfacing, the other uses the heat and bond. Tuesday our neighborhood quilt group meets. We are working on a row by row and its amazing how different the blocks look done in the different colors. We meet just about every two weeks and I Love it. It was in that group I learned all about quilting and I don't know what I would do without them. There are 6 of us and its nice, as we meet in each others homes. Will post some pictures of the row by row as soon as I get mine back. A couple of us are working very hard on the wool felt projects. I enjoy that and try to do a bit each day. I haven't embroidered in about 25 years, but its coming back. Its like riding a bike!! You never forget!

Happy National Quilters Day

Well, we are special! We all know it but we are now recognized. Quilting seems to have been reborn in a BIG way and I am so happy. I am grateful for the creative outlet it gives to us, the Legacy we are able to leave for our children and grandchildren and for the friends we have become thru this blog. Now celebrate the Day--go buy more stash! LOL
