T-shirt quilt. I made this for Michael's 13 year old grandson, Bailey. He gave me the T-shirts a year ago and it has taken me this long to get my hand working good enough to do this. Michael helped me every step of the way with everything, even with color and placement. I wish I had a good photo of it after quilting.
Michael came up with the idea of making Bailey's mom a Quillo with the left over T-Shirt scraps. Maybe she could use it to cover up with at games. With no graphics it was a bit dull, so I appliqued his name and number and threw in an Arkansas Cotton Bowl shirt. We used Arkansas Razorback fabric on the back of both quilts. Next, I will make one for my brother. His graphics are from motorcycle shirts and they are HUGE. I am not sure how to do that one. I also hope to someday make my grandchildren a T-shirt quilt.
There are currently 9 of us that get together to share and work on a quilting project. A pattern is agreeded upon and we all go home and do our thing with it.
Bev, Teena, Donna, Sheryl, Diana, and Carolyn have moved away but stay in touch. We miss you. Phyllis and Maureen have gone on home to heaven. We miss them. They remain in our hearts.
We didn't have a name, and we still don't...it was just the "dark quilt" project...and that has stuck for years now.
I can't remember but I think we started meeting each month in 1998. Our first quilt was finished Aug 1999. I think we took a year to complete it.
