Quilts from his shirts

Dottie made these quilts and pillow tops for Diana, who lost her husband. She did a great job and I'm sure they will be a wonderful comfort to her children. She chose Stars and Loops pantograph and I used Hobbs 80/20 batting. The backing is denim, so they are quite heavy.










Here are 7 table runners that Carolyn made. She had the backing and batting cut for each of them. I stitched the backings together and loaded them all at once, floating each table runner as it's backing advanced. She's all set for Christmas.

Plaid Shirts

Look how different they look with a darker background:
