Pictures of the finished double sided-t-shirt quilt

Here is Kate's double sided quilt - done. But...I think I am going to go back and quilt the t-shirts, I don't like the look of them not being tacked down.

Project finished - pix to follow

Hi, I just finished a DOUBLE sided t-shirt quilt and have another double sided one to do. I quilted in the sashing and not on the shirts, but now I am thinking I should have done the shirts too. I told the owner to pick it up today and then I will consult with her. It will only take one evening to get it quilted. If she doesn't pick it up, then I will quilt it tonight.

Tonight is our guild meeting but it is also suppose to be severe weather so I will probably just stay at home and sew.

I have a couple more ideas for lines for The Jacaranda Tree that I want to get mapped out. Plus I am still working on the web site. I have a vision of how I want it to look, but I have to take some time to create the art work.

Thursday night is Ron White. Can't wait to give him another chance. I love him on TV but when I saw him last year I was disappointed.

I bought some new kids shirts to embroider on. Also trying to figure out what to put on them. Maybe something Easter.

My granddaughter Hope (3) told me yesterday that she was wrapped in the quilt I made her (see 2006 slide show below, it is hot pink with inlaid hearts) and that her brother Bradley was wrapped in his (see 2007 slide show below, Alien quilt). She then said "I love you Nana!" Isn't that what it is all about?

My kids and grandkids are my guinea pigs, I make stuff for them while learning new techniques. Tip - don't machine embroider on cheap towels!

OK, I will take photos of the quilt when I get to work & post them later on. Peace Karrel

My other 2008 Florida State Fair Winner projects

I entered a bunch of photographs (5 for me & 2 my husband took), 2 quilted wall hangings, and 2 other scrapbook pages. They didn't win. But these did (also see yesterday's post). If you like the book - see my links to the left of this side to see a couple of other books I created at Shutterfly. I love them!


This page won THIRD place. I threw this together in about 30 min. when I realized I needed another page. I had made a traditional page of Bradley smiling at 18 mths and had a copy of it - but when it came time to take it to the fair I remembered that I entered into another contest. Soooo...I updated it.



This is a digital version of the scrapbook that won FIRST place. Please note that the cover of this book is not part of the scrapbook, the scrapbook cover is the 1st page that has a picture of the dogs at the door. The book is a combination of traditional and digital scrapbook pages. My Dogs

I am going to be adding a lot more pictures to The Jacaranda Tree this weekend. I will let you know when they are up. Plus I am finishing up an awesome T-shirt quilt which will be featured on that page this weekend (and here too).

Thanks guys - Peace
