T-shirt Quilt Finished!!!


Recent efforts to focus on unfinished projects is paying off. Another creative tribute to a very special person is finally ready to spread... a queen-size T-shirt quilt.

Saving enough T's since 1995 to reflect pre-school-to-college milestones was much easier than choosing the final palette.  Computer mock-ups, as posted here, helped to arrange.  This was not the final layout, but I hope to post pics of the real thing after our first-born returns to the US and sees it.

After fusing, framing and piecing together the squares for the front and the fabric panels for the reversible back, I outsourced the rest. I'm so happy to have found the Quilter's Studio of Loveland, to do the machine quilting and binding.  Thank you, Laurie for exceeding my expectations. At this rate, I'll soon have more room to start new projects!-- maybe even twin quilts in 4 more years. 

Sr. Mary Agnetis Memorial is a step closer to completion

John Cline at Casting Arts and Technology never fails to deliver exceptional casting expertise. Could not be happier with the bronze cast of Sr. Mary Agnetis. Thanks, John and crew!

You can see more of their casting and restoration work HERE and the inspiration for this project in an earlier blog post (Oct. 30, 2013) HERE.

Next steps for Sr.MA:
  • Patina,
  • Base Design and Fabrication, and
  • Installation at NDA.
