Memory Quilt

I made this quilt for my mother-in-law. It has 9 shirts in it. I included the pockets and tags from the shirts. She really liked it.

I'm still here

It's been a while since I last posted. I'm still staying busy.
I have finished one quilt that is a Christmas gift that I'll post a picture after I give it to her. She doesn't know I'm making it so it will be a surprise. I have another gift quilt sandwiched and ready to quilt. I hope to get that done soon so I can give it away. Again, no pictures yet since it is a surprise.

I did give some gifts already. I made some Mug Rugs. These are about 8" x 10". You can put your drink on one side and your snack on the other. Each one I made a little different but used the same fabrics. I didn't get a picture of the 1st one I made. I made it a little different in that I put binding on it and quilted it different. These I stitched around and then turned (birthed) them. It was a quicker method and I like the results better. I will probably use this method in the future. The ladies who received them liked them. Some of the fabric I used was from the estate of Carol's sister.
