I think they refer to this as the Cobblers Syndrome - when you are always making things for others, and forgetting your own kids?
But in my defense, my kids had WAY too many t shirts!
Last year I made them sort thru them all and make a pile of what they would like in a T shirt quilt - and my husband decided to get in on it too...
Announcing the FIRST of the Family T Shirt Quilts!
It kind of worked out that I finished this quilt just in time for his Birthday!! So we headed to PF Changs - and managed to make the waitstaff and manager laugh at how much food we ordered. but!! we still had room for dessert!!!
And I was glad I had that done, as I became aware that it was that time of year again, and I got swamped with TShirt Quilts for high scholl grads - LOVE it - but how did time sneak up so fast???
Alright!!! What is happening with you????

Double sided!!!! Great job!!! Looking forward to the next family t-shirt quilt!
ReplyDeleteAwww you made the youngest one's first - that is so sweet. It looks so neat!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a reversible T-shirt quilt. My daughter gave me dozens of her new hubby's t-shirts for a quilt, so that is going to be my solution to use as many as I can.
You look too young to have those big strapping sons!
I am impressed that you made it two sided, great memories for Little Bit!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to make a T-shirt quilt and will try to keep my record clean. LOL kudos to you for providing a much sought after service.
ReplyDeleteAwe. . . what a perfect gift! Loved the variety of t-shirts and fabrics! What a special mom you are!

What a delight!!!!! NIce job on son's t-shirt quilt!
ReplyDeleteWow, double sided? That's a labor of love for sure. Congratulations on having it finished in time for the birthday celebration!
ReplyDeleteWell done! Double-sided - that must be super heavy! Good for your winters.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect bday gift and a fantastic family pic! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of T-shirts, but it's really fun. Is it really heavy since it has t-shirts on both sides?
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your son, looks like a fun celebration! Love the T shirt quilt, it will bring back memories for all of you.
ReplyDeleteFabulous 2 sided t-shirt quilt. Is it extra heavy? That might be good if he likes a weighted quilt with the bonus of all those t-shirts full of memories.
ReplyDeleteThe T-shirt quilts are NOT fun to make but they mean the world to the recipients. You make such a pretty picture and chocolate to top it all!!! A perfect celebration, indeed!
ReplyDeleteI think you know I am biased, but t-shirt quilts are the BEST! So many memories in one piece and made with love. How can you do wrong??? Thanks for the chance to party with you. Blessings, M
ReplyDeleteHow erfect to have that great quilt finished for the Birthday. It's a wonderful idea -- Nobody ever wants to throw T-Shirts because of the memories associated with them . Repurposing them in this beautiful way makes so much sense and the recipients get to keep the memories forever!
