T-Shirt Quilt Final Reveal

The past few days I have gone over the process of how to prepare your shirts, how to lay them out to tell a story, how to sash the shirts to make a top and today is the Alpha Omega sorority t-shirt quilt final reveal!

You will notice that the sashing is green and the binding is gold – the thread is also agolden colour if you can see it. These are Alpha Omega’s colours and my client was really excited to have these colours represented.

For those who are wondering, I used the “bumpity” pantograph pattern on the quilt. It’s a favourite of mine and my clients.

Learn From My Experience

As with most projects, there are some areas in the creating that I would change next time.

First, this quilt used 16 shirts on the top and 8 shirts on the back. I would not do a double-sided t-shirt quilt again because the double interfacing made it too difficult to quilt. I ended up using a stronger needle (100 – DENIM) and that seemed to work.

Also, I would recommend a light weight interfacing instead of a medium weight to make it easier to quilt through.

Ice Cream Cone Purse

We had a crochet party for my daughter a few years ago (I believe for her 7th birthday).

They measures approximately 6″ wide by 7.5″ tall. My daughter is modeling different ways to wear the purses.

Blog Roadmap: A New Direction

Hello! You may have noticed that the blog has been on pause for a little bit while I determined the direction I wanted it to go. Originally I had the blog here but not enough original content to post, so I shared items that I found on the internet. This was great, for a while. Then I decided to merge my mommy blog with my business blog and so I sent my readers over there. That worked too but I really missed writing about my mom adventures. After a lot of consideration and planning, I have prepared a great content
