Saturday again

thought I would put up a photo of my next project- a tee shirt wall hanging for my brother. I just went over to the lqs that has stored my bolt of 49er fabric for several years now. You can see it in the bottom of the rough cut shirts hanging...it will be the backing fabric. I have 3 more maroon colored shirts to cut apart and then start stitching together. My friend who owns the lqs, teaches a class on her way of making these quilts/wall hangings. I am going to try what she suggested-which is no fusible interfacing, zig zag the shirts on top of each other...sandwich, and use a large meander stitch to quilt it together. This means not having to pay a longarm quilter and puts it all on me.
This won't be any larger than 72 by 96 as that is the largest his wall can hold. I am excited to tackle something new-and do something for him. He is my baby brother ...ten years younger-and such a wonderful sweet man. We fly out early November to visit with my sister and her family and will also be seeing my brother and his. I am so looking forward to spending time with all of them.
