Crafting in the Neighborhood

Jane and I always talk about getting together to work on some type of project, and yesterday it was time to work on the t-shirt quilts we had started to begin on last winter.

Yes...we went to a class at Betty's Quilting to learn how to make a t-shirt quilt.  Then we went to Walmart and picked up everything that Jane needed since I had most of my supplies already.

And that is where it ended.

The best laid plans and all....  Life gets in the way.....Other things took precedence....

But we decided after we took the quilts (Owen's dinosaur quilt and the quilt top that her grandmother had made) to Betty's and picked them up that we would do this.

Yesterday was the day.

We cut the shirts, applied the interfacing to the backs to stabilize, and cut again.  Each of us had our own process, but the results were the same.

Even though I felt terrible and my equilibrium was off, I enjoyed the afternoon of just working together and visiting.

Now on to the next steps which for me are adding sashing and a border to the blocks.
