Life's Little Pieces - Take 2!

Here we go! I now have a picture of the finished top piece of the t-shirt quilt. Isn't it cool? We have gotten a lot of inquiries about these quilts since we have finished this one, and have decided that we will actually make these for anyone who is interested! I am definitely making one of Evelyn's baby blankets, clothes, newborn hats, curtains, etc ASAP! How adorable of a bedspread would that be for her big girl bed that is soon to come?!? Okay, so not that soon, but like 6 months, plenty of time to finish I suppose, life gets busy..... Lots and lots of ideas for these in my head. Do you/someone you know have a million t-shirts from high school sports? Are they just sitting in a box, in storage somewhere. Well, why not actually get some use out of those and be able to look at the memories from them every day by having them made into a quilt, helloooo! Or, on a less cheerful side, a loved one passes away, and you are left with their clothes. Don't box them up for Goodwill - have us make a quilt out of them that you can use all the time and remember that person with: you don't even have to wash the t-shirts first if you don't want to, that way it will still smell like them! Kids going off to college? Adios, that's the last you'll see of them until Christmas; chop up their t-shirts that they leave behind so you can remember the good-old-days when they used to be around-haha. We are going to put up some info. at local fabric stores due to inquiries there, and if you have any questions or are interested, let me know! We're excited to start doing this!!
