Daddy's T-Shirt Quilt


Here is a T-Shirt quilt top. I am making this for a friend. Her husband died (very young) and she wanted a quilt made for their son from his T-Shirts. It is a very humbling experience to work with something like this. Those who think quilting is just a hobby or just making a "blanket" are sadly mistaken. I can't wait to get it finished to give her so she can bless their son with something so meaningful.

Turning Twenty Flower Girl

Olivia has been working on this needlepoint.

We had a Turning Twenty class at the Guild this week.

So she has incorporated some of her blocks into this pattern.

She is adding more embroidery to the boarders and
I think she is planning on hand quilting it.
She works on this while we watch a movie, read aloud or listen to history CDs.
