I am not quite done with the t-shirt quilt, I only have the binding left (if I can figure out that last miter) but it is turning out great!!! Actually I have done 3 "tops" of t-shirt material. But one of the quilts has two tops. My neighbor, Karen, was very worried the long arm wouldn't work with that much t-shirt to go through, but it did!!! I was so happy. So one side is football shirts and one side is baseball shirts. I hope the kid I give it to likes it! The exciting thing is I am learning the long arm for quilting. I like it because it goes sooooo fast. We just do the meandering stitch but it looks great. Hand quilting is beautiful but takes such a long time, and by the time you are done with the quilt you are getting tired of looking at it. humm not sure I like that idea. Oh I won't give up all hand quilting but I think I will do some combination on the next two tops I have ready to go. Oh and the other t-shirt quilt top I have is a graduation gift for my son and it has a combination of football, band, speech and drama on it. I love it and I'm so excited how it has turned out. I have the binding left but I started thinking I am going to bind in flannel to match the back but I am not so sure I like working with flannel it has so much give to it. I am going to ponder this for a while!!
Oh I should say, I have been doing some more advertising for the show, but I feel really inadequate for this job!! I am having a tough time staying focused on it. I think I need help but who to call??? I am working on that. I have a few ideas.
Well all for now. Hope I can get back soon.
