Yesterday was back in time (WAY back to the 80's, gee I feel old) for spirit week. I think Mandy was going for the flash dance or Olivia Newton-John look with the slouched socks and the shirt with the neck cut off and the bottom chopped way off. Thank goodness for a Michael's $2.99 shirt!!!
I spent some time with a friend yesterday helping her laying out some blocks so didn't get any customer quilting done. I did quilt up two table runners and got the bindings put on them by machine so accomplished somethiing at least in addition to some household chores.
Today I need to get a t-shirt loaded and quilted. I hear that they are a bear to quilt so wish me luck.

I have quilted a few nd did not have problems. If you do, please share so I will be ready and anticipating any for the one I am making for a friend. I'm thinking I could have blocked the difficult moments, but maybe it is all in the way the t-shirts are prepared. Let us know.
I think the trick for T-shirt quilts is to make sure there is a stablizer behind the stretchy fabric. Of course you don't want to cover up the T-shirt message with a bunch of quilting, but then you have to space the stitching so all is held in place sufficiently. I'll leave the T-shirt quilts to others. Mandy pulled off the look again! What's next? Sandi
