SF Giants T-Shirt Quilt

. . . and my next project . . . another T-shirt quilt - a surprise.  Apparently, an old coworker somehow got her husband to get rid of his Giants shirts!  Little did he know that she kept them . . . and handed them over to me to make a surprise T-shirt quilt.  I felt so guilty cutting them up! (although, when I finished the quilt, I wanted to keep it for myself!)


Here is a little peek . . .

T-Shirt Quilt Continued

. . . still getting estimates on repairing my sewing machine, so I was on a break.  However, I was able to borrow a sewing machine in the meantime!  Here is one of my finished products!  A T-shirt quilt for one of my old coworkers.

T-Shirt Quilts

My current project - for a coworker . . . a bunch of her old T-shirts and fabric pieces (after 3 hours in the fabric store! . . . decisions decisions . . . but I was excited for JoAnn's Fabric Store's Coupon Commotion!  And, proud that the receipt said I saved $74!)


. . . This quilt has been difficult to make!  I was supposed to start it back in April, but I fractured my wrist and had to get a cast.  I had to put the project on hold because it even hurt to hold a ruler down.  I picked the project back up last week, and was almost done, but then my sewing machine broke! . . . so I have to wait to get it repaired :(


In the meantime, here are a few other quilts I have made:

This is a T-shirt quilt for another coworker of mine.

After her quilt was made, she recommended me to the district, to make a quilt - which is now hanging in the office!  Each staff member wrote on a square, and then I sewed them into a quilt.  I am pretty much self taught in quilt making, and use trial by error (which is why I tend to veer towards using squares and rectangles when making quilts).
