T shirt quilt, Geese in a ring and a dress

I can finally show the “secret” T-shirt quilt!

Ning graduation yesterday and after that we met for lunch with her family from Singapore and I gave her the quilt

(She in turn gave me a BIG gift card to JoAnn’s WOOHOO! you know I’ll use that quickly! ha ha)

Here’s the shirt segments being sewn into rows

and finally into a top

There are some FUNNY and cool shirts in this!

Here the quilt is all done. Quilted and bound.

I did a big meandering all over

Backing is a solid grey

Joshua 1:9 (my embroidery machine can’t do a : sign)

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”

The geese in a ring quilt is done too and I LOVE how it turned out

I started quilting the borders and in the white border I quilted pebbles then continued that on the white background, I LOVE it!

It didn’t take THAT long since the quilt is only 46” squared, but I don’t think I would do it on a large quilt.

On the border and the setting triangles I did McTavishing- my first try, I like doing it! it was fun!

Here’s the back with a hanging sleeve already- just missing a label.

and some close ups

Saturday evening I made a dress for Sonja

simplicity 4661 an old pattern I had from when my other daughter was little

Here are the Lee women

all ready for church and then lunch with Ning’s family

( I made Solveig’s dress too a year or two ago)
