She wondered if I would be able to make quilts from his shirts for her sons. <br />
On every special occasion over the years she would buy him an Eddie Bauer flannel shirt. <br />
<br />
In June she came with a bin of more than 20 shirts,. There was a great assortment of colours, solids, plaids and checks. They were all size XL tall. There is a lot of useable fabric in an XL shirt. <br />

<br />
First up came the deconstruction of the shirts. Cuffs and collars removed, plackets torn off, leaving lots of fabric. <br />

Then came the cutting of squares. I chose to cut 6" and 12" squares maximizing every bit of shirt. I was just going with squares randomly placed. I used the 6" squares on the front and 12" for the back. So it was like getting two quilts in one. I even used strips of shirts for the bindings.<br />

Progress was slow over the summer with other pressing project deadlines, vacation, start of school etc. But I did manage to complete them by the middle of Sept. <br />

Ok say I said there are three finishes. Here is the third. After these two quilts were done I still had squares and shirts pieces left over. Further cutting into 4.5" squares (this time using my Accuquilt Go). I knew the squares wouldn't like up row by row, but I was ok with that. Sadly not quite squares enough for back this time. This quilt was going to be for Oma. I chose a bright cheery pink with tiny floral for the back. Kind of a'His and Hers' quilt. <br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wouldn't it be lovely if April Showers came in the form of <i>fabric showers</i> rather than rain (or if you are in Alberta, snow)? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pretty colourful Fat Quarters falling from the sky ever so gently. Dreamy</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Or perhaps in your corner of the world you are tired of April Showers or dreary fall days and need some brightening up of your day. I think I have just the thing. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

On the home front:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>attended an out of town hip hop convention with daughter #2</li>
<li>drove and watched many of her basketball games. They lost in semi-finals. What a great season!</li>
<li>took a day trip to the mountains</li>
<li>attended a few National Lacrosse League games</li>
<li>welcomed daughter #1 home for a week for her Reading week. Loved having her home</li>
<li>baked, cooked, cleaned, laundry, shopped.... the usual</li>
<li>working out; increasing my time on the stationary bike and weights in my arms!</li>
</ul>
<div>
So needless to say I have been busy, just not always quilting. The weather has been so cold and we are now heading into our snowiest month. yuck</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am pleased to say that my Celtic Solstice quilt is complete. I really enjoyed working on this quilt, from gathering the fabrics, to using new to me rulers and learning new techniques. I love the pattern that evolved. Cirlces, stars and squares intertwine to make a beautiful quilt. I had the opportunity to long arm quilt this with my friend <a href="http://www.urbanquiltworks.com/">Andrea at Urban Quiltworks</a>. She is a relatively new long armer, but she has an amazing natural talent and patience for a newbie. Go check her out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I haven't been able to take pictures of the completed quilt outside as it has been too frigid, maybe on the weekend. For now these will have to suffice.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At last the borders are on and the top is completed for the <a href="http://quiltville.blogspot.ca/p/celtic-solstice-mystery.html">Bonnie Hunter's 2014 Mystery Quilt, Celtic Solstice. </a> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A few things about this quilt and its making:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I haven't worked with this colour combination before</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I learned what a very accurate 1/4" is</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used Tri Rec rulers for the first time</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I still can't follow a pattern to a T ( I changed the borders a bit)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am so sorry for not blogging much lately. If just seems to take extra effort to blog. So I have been using Instagram and Facebook more often. If you use either of these check in with me there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been extremely busy on the home front. DD# 2 is on the basketball team which has had me running to 8 games last week and a few the week before. Not too mention all her dance classes too. Any spare time has gone to running the house and working on my <a href="http://quiltville.blogspot.ca/p/celtic-solstice-mystery.html">Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt, Celtic Solstice.</a> I am so happy to say as of today my top is finished! (but it was dark out when I finished so no completed pictures yet.)</span></div>

Despite being terribly busy with the holiday season, I am managing to get some sewing time in here and there. The house is starting to fill up and getting noisier, perfect. Daughter is home from university, hubby will be off until the New Year starting Friday and school ends for #3. That means lots of chatter and laughter will be in the house. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my little sewing spurts I have managed to get Step 2 finished of <a href="http://quiltville.blogspot.ca/p/celtic-solstice-mystery.html">Bonnie Hunter's Celtic Solstice </a>mystery quilt. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This table runner is now gracing my mother's coffee table this holiday season.<br />

<br />
<br />
I started Bonnie Hunter's new mystery quilt called <a href="http://quiltville.blogspot.ca/p/celtic-solstice-mystery.html">Celtic Solstice</a>. The first step uses the Tri Rec rulers, which I had to go out and purchase. </div>

Sewing processed stopped. I have come up against a very BIG, hard, brick wall. My squares aren't coming out to 3.5" as required. I am just about sick about it. Some are fine, others are really not. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not sure if I should recut fabric and resew. Rip these apart and resew. Wait to see what/how these go in the quilt and see if I might be about to fudge them in somehow. </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thank you for your sweet comments about the <a href="http://lalaslovelys.blogspot.ca/2013/11/hugs-completed.html#comment-form">Hug quilts.</a> I wish I could be a 'fly (yuck) on the wall' when those kids open their gifts.

For last couple of days I have been blogging about the making of these two very special quilts. See more </span><a href="http://lalaslovelys.blogspot.ca/2013/11/hugs.html" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">here </a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and </span><a href="http://lalaslovelys.blogspot.ca/2013/11/hugs-almost-completed.html" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">here</a><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At last the two memory quilts are completed. They have actually been delivered and will be given as Christmas gifts. The mother couldn't have been more happy with the results. I could tell by the tears. She knows the quilts will continue to bring herself and her children comfort in the coming years.</span></div>
