As you can see...above is my first completed summer project! (well...almost complete. I still need to sew the back on...but, that is easy peasy!). I have a list of things I want to get done on summer break.
Things like:
1. a deep cleaning of the house
2. tshirt quilt (check)
3. get caught up on almost 3 years worth of scrapbooking (one year down)
4. read a book (haven't started yet)
5. work on stuff for Ladies Day (in progress)
6. read for next semester (haven't even started!)
So...I have a long list but, I am getting there!
We went at the beginning of June to TN for 2 weeks. One week to visit family and the second week we were at church camp (we had 10 baptisms). The day we got back into TX we stopped at Brownwood/Bangs for a rehearsal dinner and a wedding for DJ and Chaylie the next day. Also, the day of the wedding Erika flew in from AL to spend 10 days with me! WE HAD A BLAST! Two days after she left we had company for another night! This is pretty close to what our schedule looks like most of the time though! CRAZY!
But, as soon as company left I rested a few days and began work on this quilt. It probably took about 10 hours to finish. I took a lot of Josh's old baseball shirts and jerseys and CAREFULLY (they are almost sacred haha) cut the into equal squares. Then I had to stabilize them bc they are so stretchy. Then came cutting the sashing...tedious!!! ugh! The sewing was pretty easy though. He LOVES it! I can't wait to get the back on so he can use it!
I also have t-shirts from my high school and college that I want to make into a quilt. THEN...I have a lot of sentimental shirts between Josh and I that I want to quilt. (I have the shirt he wore on our first date, the shirts we were wearing when he proposed, the first shirts we bought each other, the shirt I wore on our wedding night when we ate supper, and hopefully this year I will have the shirts we wore when we found out we were pregnant) This will probably be my favorite quilt!
So, this is a little peek into my summer!
