black border

After a long Girl Scout meeting where it was the battle of the wills, 

Added the black border.  This fabric has music notes in it.  :)

T-Shirt quilt center

I have the center done and need to run an errand.

I will put a black border on it that has music notes on it and then I need to determine the outside border.

I have the other side of the shirts that I might add to the outside border, but I'm not sure if I want that or do this layout.  I need to play with it an see.

1 of 6 done

this is the completed block.  One thing I would do differently is to not have partial seams.  When I figured it out, I should have laid the blue pieces different to allow ease of sewing.

I think it will be OK.

Stash Report

No changes at all this week.

T-shirt quilt

It's started!!!  I am having some design challenges for me.  I need to spread them out more, and it will happen as I cut more pieces.  I won't sew it all together until all the pieces are placed.

I think the blue is going to add to the quilt with all the black t-shirts.

This is the design again.  I'm using a directional for the yellow, so that is going to take some thought.

Star quilt

I had lunch with my friend, Lorena, and she told me she had seen on my blog my blue and green star quilt.

I've been trying to get this one quilted for a long time.  I just don't seem to make it happen.

I now know why.  Lorena, of A Thread of Scarlet, wants to custom quilt this quilt.  She said it might take her some time, but it is taking me time to just get it loaded.  I love her quilting and would really love to own a quilt quilted by her.

So, now to get it to her for her to quilt.  Thank you, Lorena.

Normal but strange

Yesterday was a proud day when my son was inducted into The National Society of Leadership and Success.

Today was supposed to be spent sewing, but it was spent horseback riding

 and then shopping with a girl.  LOL  

We found her an outfit for the banquet and I found a skirt.  

She found shoes, more than the one pair, and jewelry.  

So, we then had to do to Wal-Mart and got the gift card for the band banquet and got more jewelry making items to make her a bracelet to go with the jewelry she found.

I'm home, but I'm doing the laundry, cooking dinner and then maybe I can sew.  Time will tell, but I HAVE to get this done this weekend.
