Anne from Guam Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Here is a Tshirt quilt I made and quilted for a 19 year old boy's birthday. When I showed it to the customer ( the mom ) she didn't say a word. I thought OH OH she doesn't like it! Then I looked at her face and she was crying. She loved it.

Sandra Darlington Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 It looks great, Anne. I think the kids really love tee shirt quilts because they can relate so well to each of the shirts, like going down memory lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terri C.

Great job, thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I kind of dreaded doing my first T-shirt quilt, but ended up totally enjoying the project. They are such a neat gift. So personal. I recently did one for my BIL to cover up with as he recovers from surgery and takes radiation treatments. He was so blown away by the fact that I would make something like that for him. I have done two start to finish for a customer and have another one ordered by that same customer. A nice fill in for when I'm caught up on customer quilt tops.

ffq-lar Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Great job! This will be loved, used, and cherished for years! No wonder mom had tears! And when this young man is over 40 and has his own 19 year old son, the son will love the "retro" images and think how cool his dad is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semedo2000 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hi Anne Do you have a quilting business in Guam? I am moving to Guam to take a civilian military job. I would like to take my machine but I do not know I will have space for when I get over there. I was told that the housing was very small. Would it be possible to rent studio space in Guam?

CrazyAboutQuilting Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Anne, what a great quilt!! And so perfect for a 19 year old boy! He is going to flip when he sees it.
