How to Make a T-Shirt Quilt
Turn old tees into a one-of-a-kind quilt
Step by step instructions with photos and tips. A t-shirt quilt is an awesome way to repurpose all of those old t-shirts, from sports, school, bands, and vacations, into an unforgettable and precious gift for a family member or friend. Most quilts are made from simple geometric shapes, squares, rectangles, and triangles that are sewed together with straight lines, (and I know you all can sew in straight line!) In many ways quilts are easier than clothing and other craft projects the require ...

Quilted Postcards
Fiber Art in the Mail
Imagine making a 4 x 6 inch sized quilt and sending it in the mail! That's what this lens is about. This crafty project is for when you want to make something with fabric but you don't have a lot of time to make anything substantial. You put a piece of felt or interfacing in between two layers of fabric and then embellish them with stitches. These days the post office has gotten so particular I don't know if you could really send them as is, but you could put them in an envelope and send them...

Quilting Blogs--My New Hobby!
I love quilting!!
Do you love to quilt? I have just learned to quilt and really enjoy it! I read quite a few blogs about quilting and have found some great tutorials and free patterns that I'd love to share on here for quilting and sewing! It's so fun to see the finished product and know that it will always be a treasure to the recepient! (This is a quilt I made for my 5 month old son--the first quilt I ever made.)

Comfy Quilts
(Back to the top) Photo Credit Amazon: Greenland Home Blooming Prairie Twin Quilt Bonus Set My friend has shown me several quilts over the last year that her sister has made. The latest quilt I saw was one that my friend received as a birthday gift. It was absolutely beautiful. The colors matched my friend's bedroom and yes it was all hand sewn. It took her months to make it. People have been making quilts since the early 1800's or before. Women gathered in quilting circles. Making quilts as...

Jacobs Ladder Quilt Block
Easy to Piece Quilt Block - Jacobs Ladder
Inspired by the Bible, the Jacobs Ladder quilt block was commonly chosen by women who read their Bible each day. The name comes from the scripture Genesis 28: 11-22. Jacobs Ladder is a nine patch quilt block and one of my favorite patchwork designs for a quilt. There are many variations of this pattern that are still done today. A simple light and dark design, as pictured in the picture at left gives the block an old fashioned feel. Today's quilters get quite creative in color combinati...
