My last post was about the really nice baby t-shirt quilt that I made
for a client. Irene shared my Facebook post and below is what she said. I'm very
grateful for my kind friends and clients!
My
friend Jan at Sylvania Quilting
made this awesome baby quilt for Samantha
A's shower for Baby Harper. Our husbands have worked
together for years, but this is the first time I have had need of her skills. I
have saved "special" t-shirts over the years with a mind to putting
them in a quilt, but quilting is outside my skill set- and I don't have time to
learn right now! The sashing is "moose" fabric I bought ages ago and
have used to make a few things for Gregory Moose A. She designs t-shirt quilts the way I design a rosary
with someone: we sit down and talk it out. She even had a catalog of quilting
designs from which to choose- I settled on one that had an "antler"
look to it. She did a great job placing the sashing fabric to show off the
drawings. She even took two smaller shirt patterns and made them into a single
block, so the 2x3 quilt actually had seven shirts incorporated. I was thrilled
with the result- it was even better than I had hoped!
