It’s much easier to get perfect results when you’re quilting with the same type and weight of fabric. The reason I say this is because you are working with so many different types and weights of fabric. A t-shirt quilt isn’t exactly the easiest quilting project – contrary to what most people think. Although she graduated from high school some five years ago (how’s that possible?), she loved the quilt. My husband’s actually been thinking about making handmade Adirondack chairs for each of our children.įor our youngest daughter’s birthday (aka sailor girl) this year, I made her a t-shirt quilt out of all her old high school band t-shirts. I’m not sure what we’ll be making them this year. Last year for Christmas, we made our children hand turned wooden ornaments, beautiful hand turned pens, custom wooden wall clocks, bowl warmers, mug rugs, homemade vanilla and, of course, more sugar scrub. Our children have embraced this concept wholeheartedly. But, we decided a few years ago to try and make Christmas and other special occasions more about the time and experiences we have together than the presents under the tree. It does make gift giving, especially at Christmas, a little more challenging. Those children have wives, husbands, boyfriends, girlfriends, children, dogs, cats and more on the way! Our family is ever growing and we absolutely would not have it any other way. Oh, wait, we can have that now!Īs you may know if you’ve followed me here on The Birch Cottage blog, my husband and I have seven children.
There is a big part of me that longs for those simpler times. But, mostly, there’s kind of a solemn feeling out of respect for the time and love put into creating these family necessities or heirloom gifts. Can you imagine some of the stories these old quilts could tell? Kind of like walking in to an old home or an antique piece of furniture – boy, the stories they could tell! I can just imagine the hours of conversation that took place. I suppose they remind me of a simpler time when most things were handmade out of necessity. I especially love old hand quilted quilts. Every time I see something quilted, it literally calls to me. Thus, the reason I’m sharing these easy beginner quilting project ideas. I love quilting, but I’m not very experienced at it.
