Weekend Retreat
Project 1
This one requires a little explanation. These shirts belonged to my husband's cousin who died last year of metastatic melanoma (skin cancer that spread). His widow kindly gave me these shirts after I offered to make her a quilt out of them. I have had a lot of trepidation about this project and have procrastinated a little. However, my husband has helped me select a pattern and I have practised cutting up other shirts so feel I am ready to finally begin this project. I hope to make a really good start at the retreat this coming weekend.
I'll be 'out of touch' until Sunday evening so I hope you all have a great few days until we can catch up again.

It will be a special gift! Enjoy your retreat.
Good luck with this special project!
What a nice gesture to do this shirt quilt for her. It will be long remembered, that is for sure.
Yes. I can see a quilt coming from that. It will be wonderful! And a very nice gift. :-) Keep us posted!
You can do it, I had a dear friend whose Mother passed away and she gave me all her clothes, they were poly-knit! I made nine patches and was able to make four twin size quilts, one for my dear friend, one for her sister and one for each of my friends daughters, they just love them and she will to no matter what pattern you use. Enjoy!
Shari, that's so lovely of you to do that for her..
It will be a special gift for her to keep! Enjoy your retreat...
Hugs Julia ♥
