Last weekend I put binding on Carissa's T-shirt quilt. Her party is next weekend and she will be able to have it on display. We were going to meet her in the parking lot of Kmart, down in Algona.
A friend of hers had free kittens. My Malcolm in the middle son wanted one of them.
We would meet up and trade one quilt for a kitten.

I wasn't able to get a decent picture of the whole thing in the parking lot....so it was decided that it will get official pictures at Carissa's party. Besides there was a kitten involved and all my son wanted was to get it back home quickly.
This is my new granddaughter-kitty. Her name is Dusk of Oolacile.
(heavy sigh)
It is from some dark video game he plays. He says she answers to her full name and calling her Lucy for short does not work. What the heck?
Okay, whatever.

Amanda wanted to see a "so far" picture of her T-shirt quilt. Her uncle, tractor joe wanted her to see how her quilt was taking over his space and stuck his foot in the picture. My goal is to get a finished top this weekend. She won't have a finished quilt for her party next weekend, just a top.
She is okay with that. It took her forever to gather her t-shirts!

I won BLOCK LOTTO again. I know, it seems like I win a lot. But I play every month, there is only one month I didn't. The block involved batiks and curves. The curves said take a break.
I laid the blocks on point to see how that would look. While I like it, I am not 100% sure this is how it will end up.
My brother-in-law received one of the envelopes in HIS mailbox and promptly brought it over. This has happened before, too. I suggested that maybe he should get the quilt, tractor joe totally agreed!
"Yes! Make my brother a quilt!"
And last but not least....

Last weekend we went down to Ames to bring home a carload of dorm room things. It was all the stuff Crispy could live without for a week. He brought the rest home with him yesterday.
Next year he has an apartment. This may be his last summer at home.
I better get busy sewing on those T-shirt columns.

Beautiful kitten . . .
Good luck with the tshirt project!
I love the t shirt quilt. The black and white striped binding is perfect! The kitten is so cute. I'll never remember that name. I think you should just call her "kitty". My other block lotto blocks must go in the mail today!
Looks like you've been busy ... a regular T-shirt quilt production line. Both of them look great ...and so do all those lotto blocks you've received so far.
Wow, 2 T-shirt quilts! They both look great! Love the b&w stripe for the binding. Those took a LOT of T-shirts!
Dusk of Oolacile? Can't wait to see what he calls his first born! *grin* You could just call her Dusky.
Congrats on winning the Block Lotto! The blocks look great. I think I'll play this month. It's been a bit since I did.
Enjoy your "baby" being home for the summer!
Congrats on the block lotto win again! Great projects!
I have never made a t-shirt quilt, I heard they can be tricky. Both of yours look great. The kitty is very cute. By the way I had THREE grand kitties before I got a real grandson!
Those T shirts quilts are really in the WOW category!!
The stripe binding is soooo cute. Did she just swoon over it!!??
Your Lotto blocks are super colorful all laid out there in Tractor Joe's space. Glad he had on clean socks for the photo!!!
I like cats, but don't want one….no sirreeeee!!
And w-h-e-r-e did you put all Crispy's stuff?
Genious use of drawing ! Love how you made it a stuffed toy : )
