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

What will your blog be about?

This blog is going to be where I tell you what I am up too, show you around my studio, run ideas by you, share my latest findings, etc. You know - just like every other blog.

So what are you up too, you may ask. I am finishing up a t-shirt quilt that is double sided. The quilt is done but I am stumped with the quilting. It is the same layout on both sides, so in my anal retentive mind I want each cornerstone and each shashing stip to line up and have special quilting, but I have to let that go. I have it lined up as good as I can and I am going to give it one more try (I have already pulled out stitches). I have to, it needs to get done so I can do the other one for the brother.

I have a bunch of stuff I want to embroider but I want them to be spectacular. Not your usual stuff, so I am working on that. Especially need to develop my jeans line - watch for that!

I have several projects with pictures underway to post on my web site, so as soon as I get that quilt done this weekend I will finish those up. They include a mosaic quilt, a landscape quilt with elements added from machine embroidery, and a "Happy Village".

Plus I am working on my web site. Trying to develop prices that are comparable to others on the web. Once I do that then I have to add the page to my web site. All this while trying to re-remember HTML coding, and editing pictures for the web site.

TONIGHT I will head over to the Florida State Fair where I entered several items. Will I win? I only entered because I had a friend who entered so I thought I would go along with her. Keep your fingers crossed.

Alright, guess I better move on and get ready for my day job. Peace friends.
