Going Fabric Shopping today

Hello, I've been working on a lot of projects latelty for Christmas gifts and my Etsy shop and as you might guess, I don't have enough fabrics to finished everythhing. I have been trying to use up what fabric I have in my stash, and finding just the right fabric, start cutting and see that I don't have enough to finish. Hopefully tomorrow I will show what lovely fabric I came across and maybe even a finished project or two. Barb

T-Shirt Quilt

Hello, I would like to show a t-shirt quilt I recently made. This was a fun quilt to make. It was made for an old friend from high school.
In the spring my friend brought some of his t-shirts that he got when going to races. It took me a while to finish the quilt for him, but since he had been hanging onto the shirts for so long, it really didn't matter to him that I wasn't getting the quilt done in a hurry.


I quiltded this with a Jamone 1600P on a New Joy Gold Standard quilting frame. I did a free motion meander design in the background and outline stitched around the elements in the design on the shirts to highlight them.
