recent projects - bug jar quilt(see tutorial on you tube at Missouri Star)- youngest grand wrapped up in it. She had just walked into our hotel room at Disney and eagle eyes immediately saw it and knew it was hers. I barely finished hand sewing the binding as we traveled from the west to Florida. Difficult to see but the quilting is all bugs( unfortunately not done by me - no longarm)
Shirts are designs from Urban Threads sewn without scroll background. I was pushing the stitch count as it was. The shirts are very thin, lightweight knit.

What an adorable photo of her! That's quite an assortment of bug fabric you have there. I'm a quilter at heart and always enjoy seeing them. The tshirts are great! Seems to me that all tshirts are thin now a days and difficult to stitch on. Seems that you got the stabilizer just right on these. Nicely done!

Thank you. The bugs were collected over a few years - a remnant here, a remnant there. Finally had enough to give it a go.
Now that's a true quilter for you! Saving a little bit of fabric here and there and turning them into a fabulous quilt!

Thank you. The shirts will be worn for family pictures. We only get everyone together(East Coast and West) for holiday pics every 2 years. What a difference in the grands when comparing previous to current!

I have a granddaughter who loves bugs too. I recognized some of those fabrics from my stash. Good looking tees. I love your choice of black to show off the designs.

Thanks. The shirts were a challenge. They are way too flimsy.

One happy girl! Great job on the quilt. Last year, I stitched those same Urban Threads designs on some very heavy terry towels and the background swirls and snowflakes didn't show up well. Perhaps they would be perfect for a sweat shirt. I did like the designs. Kay

Thank you. Those designs called my name last year also but didn't get around to using them until these shirts. I'm thinking table runner for the full design with swirls? I'll have to see what happens next year.
