Jean57's projects

In Remembrance 1

Last year we lost a darling 8 year old. I let his Mom, my niece, know that when she was ready I would be happy to make her a quilt from his clothes or whatevers. This spring she let me know that the next time I was in town she would like to discuss a project. She asked me to make her three, one each for the grandparents and one for her and her husband using t-shirts she had saved since her son was a very little guy. This is the quilt for her Mom using the t-shirts they brought him from Mexico. Quilting is the result of searching Mexican art. I switched between my long arm and domestic; sewing the extremely long in the ditch and echos on my domestic to eliminate the stress of getting those straight.

See In Remembrance 1 for full story. This quilt is for my sister-in-law, niece’s mother-in-law. Niece asked for it to have all the t-shirts from my brother and his wife’s travels to the southwest. The quilting is continuing the piecing out to the edges so the design shines.

In Remembrance 3

This one is for my Niece and Nephew. In it are pieces of all t-shirts used in all three quilts. The Great nephew loved the color orange and Baby Yoda. Each quilt includes them; this quilt has 8 to represent the number of years we had with him. The quilting is just an all over medium meander so the quilt is the focus not the quilting. As I can’t imagine any of them actually using these I’ve included for my niece the hanging sleeves so they an convert them to a wall hanging.
