See Jeanette measure using a piece of fabric. Marsha Marsha.....what else can I say? The Quilt Ninja....HIIIIYAAAAA Just Needles Quilting Guild has done it again. We got together at the Pascagoula Library for a morning of intense sewing to make quilts for Project Linus...although they may go to another organization this time...CASA. It seems there are way too many children who need comforting and can use a blanket. Check out the picutres!

T-shirt quilt : getting it done

Image
I started the T-shirt quilt in a class at Block Therapy on Feb. 1. It was truly a great class. I learned so much from Brenda and Joan. It really gave me confidence to continue on. I think I have been afraid to attempt another large quilt for fear of failure. Seeing what the other quilters in the club has been somewhat intimidating but don't think that's the only reason I hesitated. I believe that my health was some to blame too. I almost feel like I've been in a fog and am coming out of it. I haven't been happy but have made some decisions that I hope will be the best for me. Anyway, I digress. I have all the blocks together. I did them in strips up and down like the instructions call for (instead of across, as tradition calls for). I sewed like a fiend and had the 3 panels done. I stopped for the night and got up this morning and looked at them again. Sewed the first 2 panels together and WHAATTT the heck.....discovered one of the lattice strips was on upside down!! ...
