:-( I'm not sure if it was me...I was routed to this area ..saying there were instructions for a tee shirt quilt here. I couldn't find anything at all - perhaps it's part of a multi-part tutorial & not listed as such.
I have saved all my husband's military t-shirts thinking I would do a t-shirt quilt for him someday. I have no idea where to start - just the premise. I'm a beginner - having worked on a hand applique (grandmothers flower garden) for years. I've made flowers - depending on how my arthritis & other medical factors have allowed me to.
So... I literally need everything - from soup to nuts - as they say.Include stiffener info. please. Thanks, SS

Hope you get the info you need and decide to stay a while. This is a great group to share and learn with. Welcome from Louisiana!

CraftyBear, Thanks for the info. I've looked it over & it looks like even I can do this ! HA! :roll:
Thanks again. SindySue

welcome from Long Island NY, Hang around for awhie, this sit is great, go to the chat room for additional help.

Thanks for all the sites. My friend's husband was buried today. Her anniversary is tomorrow and her birthday is April 13th so I asked her son to get me 2 t-shirts and I will make them into pillows so she can have them quickly.

The videos listed are good one to get the basics. For stabilizer, I like to use Pellon 906F on the back sides of the shirts. Makes it easier to work with the shirts and easier to quilt on a longarm. Have quilted ones with and without the stabilizer, and with is definitely easier.

Thanks! I will look at these sites too! So much great info here!
