I am a teacher and since we've been in school 1 half day in February, I needed to make good use of my time. My daughter chose 9 of her old club t-shirts that held good memories. See the slide show on the screen to see step by step instructions on how I made those into a lap quilt for her to keep those memories.
Some of the extra t-shirt material went for rags, the rest is thrown away. It really wasn't hard and didn't take that long. I know someone else who gathered all the shirts and backing fabric and mailed it off to her mom who loves to sew.
Just an idea!
that is awesome, Heidi! thanks for sharing...i have a box of sweatshirts and t-shirts that i was planning to turn into pillows for the girls. maybe i'll do a quilt sometime!

ReplyDeleteGreat job, Heidi! Thanks for the step by step photos. Maybe I can make a quilt with some of the soccer shirts that Catherine has.
ReplyDeleteI fed the squirrels a package of sliced almonds that were still edible but tasted a little stale to me. I should have kept them in the fridge instead of in the cupboard - at least I can make the squirrels happy. They've had a hard time with the snow cover in the backyard.
