The Girl's Quilts

Hi friends!
I had quit working on Kim's quilt until after Christmas so I could finish my Christmas sewing.
This is one of those quilts where you take one step forward and two steps back!
Also cut a little on Missy's shirts.
So back to working on both.

Here is the picture of all the ones that went to the nursing home. I am forth from the left. Sis is third and my neighbor is on the other side of me.

Missy's Quilt.

Hi friends!
Working on adding interfacing to the back of some t-shirt's for her quilt.
Already have it ironed on to this one.
Using a damp kitchen towel to add some moisture.
I wish I had a iron that got really hot like the one that tried to kill me! But this one will do , just takes a little longer.

Missy's Quilt

Hi friends!
Cutting 2 1/2 inch squares! Need lots for a king sized quilt.
This is one of the t-shirts she gave me and i am going to try to cut it like a t-shirt quilt with interfacing just the right size to match several of the rows.
Still got a couple of shirts to cut up!
Maybe I will finish by Easter and give it to her. No idea when Easter is!!!!
Maybe i will finish Kim's by Christmas Day and give her's to her.
Still lots of Christmas sewing to get done.
Have a good one.

Kim's And Missy's

Hi friends!
After I finished quilting the borders I found a spot that needed the seam ripper!
Isn't that the way it always happens?
Missy brought me a bunch of her cotton shirts to add to her quilt, so I am de-boning them.
This is how our house looked on Sat. morning after the snow.
So thankful we didn't get any more than we did , some  people in Atlanta are still without power
today.
Have a good one

Kim's Quilt

Hi friends!
I worked on Kim's quilt all day Sat. and finally got the borders sewed on and sandwiched.
I run the top piece on the top of the quilt and pin the bottom on the bottom and sew them down.
Press them over and put battening between with basting spray.
Bottom and top first then the sides.
Then i just have to quilt four borders.
Those side borders are just nine inch"s wide.
So thankful to be the far!!!
Every thing that could go wrong with this quilt did.
Hugs
