Make a quilt

I’d like to do this in the future but I wanted to delete this one for now so I could add another goal. (I am actively crocheting right now anyway.)

I’ve started many quilts (just easy ones) with my oma and aunt, but for some reason I never finished them. I want to bring a sewing machine to school with me to just sew squares when I’m bored.

I made a quilt with my grandmother a month before she had her stroke. She was left in a vegetable state for 3 months before she finally passed away. The memories I have from making that quilt are priceless. Sadly, that’s all I have from that time; my aunt stole the quilt from my grandmother’s house before I could retrieve it

i intended to make this for the actual wedding, which was over a year ago… so that didn’t happen, but i now have all the materials, the plan and layout ready, and most of the sqares cut. now that my sewing space is up to snuff, i think this will be off my list in no time…

I always wanted to make one, but I didn’t bad enough, and used my time for all kinds of other crafts etc. In retirement, I hope to actually give it a try. I will do by sewing machine. Time is too short to do all by hand.

I have tons of old clothes and as you can see from one of my other goals on my 43things , I am needing to dispose of my old clothes and old footwear.
I am gonna go ahead and cut up all my old clothes into squares and then triangles and use them to make a large heavy quilt.this is going to be a project for a couple of months coz i am gonna handstich slowly piece by piece.Yay! I love doing creative things.

I would love to make each of my children a special quilt that they can take with them through their lives as they grow and leave.

I have been saving our destroyed jeans for years. I am going to cut them into squares and make a king size quilt with a flannel back. It will be so nice and warm.

I don’t have a sewing machine though, so I will be doing it by hand. I have already begun and it is pretty difficult to push the needle through that thick fabric.

Guess I had better get a thimble. :)

was going to lie on our bed. Then he broke up with me, and I haven’t been able to bring myself to touch it ever since. My boss remarked this week how sad that is, and what a waste of material! (Nicola is a very practical person… I love her for it…) She suggested I finish it and give it away, but I’m not ready to do that just yet. Someday I hope to do so, and give it to my little niece. I like to imagine her playing on it with her dolls and books under the trees on my brother’s farm…

Not yet.

Maybe I should try starting another one. It might do me some good. :)

There was an article about needing quilters at church in the church bulletin, hmmm. Also now that I am cleaning out the basement, I am finding all kinds of quilting material.
