Recycled Tshirt quilts are on sale

My recycled tshirt quilts are marked down to $60 with free shipping on my Etsy shop.

These blankets are so soft and cozy, completely washable and dryable. No worries about spills - a great item to throw in the car for a tail gate party, picnic, or just to snuggle up with on the couch. They're quilted directly to a soft fleece backing, then serged on the edges. It wouldn't even hurt my feelings if you used it for a doggie blanket.

My kids love them. As you can see.

Gorgeous

You need to scoot over to Debra's
Etsy shop and take in this stunning art quilt called Our Lady of the Frontier. Debra has done a series of Madonna quilts, each one more beautiful than the next. While you're there, feast your eyes on her other incredible and original quilt art. Then buy one!!

Sweet Dreams

I've just posted two new upcycled tshirt quilts to my Etsy shop, Barefoot Girl.

These quilts are incredibly soft and cozy. I made them with teens and toddlers in mind. Since they're "old" already - made from gently worn tshirts - you'd have no worries about spills and other toddler/baby related mishaps. Good to throw in the back of the car, or in the grocery cart without stressing over messing up that nice quilt someone worked so hard on.

As you can see - very conducive to afternoon naps.

Visit my Etsy shop to see other similar items at VERY reasonable prices.

New Etsy Posting - All Purpose Tote Bags

Here are a couple of totes I made. Nothing fancy here, just a great little bag to grab when you're going to market, or to the library, or for your quilting/knitting/sewing/crochet you-name-it project. They're a decent size, not too large but big enough for a few books, groceries, whatever. Reasonably priced at $20.00 plus shipping.

Oh yeah: made from upcycled and recycled materials, 100% cotton duck on the outside, poly/cotton recycled bed sheet on the inside. Washable, of course.

More Tshirt Quilt Tops

I

I put these together yesterday. Finally came to my senses and made the simplest quilt top possible: 6" squares, serged together randomly. I buy XXL tshirts, wash them, cut them across the body and that way I believe I get the maximum number of squares possible. I use the other parts for smaller projects, like pillow tops. This time I found shirts in different colors, and I particularly love that spring green.

Looking for fleece to back them then they are off to be quilted. Look for these in my Etsy Store, Barefoot Girl soon!

New Etsy Posting - Bias Binding

I've just listed this in my Etsy shop. If you 've got UFOs you want to finish but making the binding is holding you up let me do it for you. 10 yards of 2" bias binding is $8.99 plus postage. I can have it done within a week of receiving your fabric.

T Shirt Quilts

I've been collaborating with Debra Spincic on these wonderful t-shirt quilts, made with recycled shirts and fleece.

I had to wrestle these away from my 23 and 19 year old daughters. Teens and toddlers would love these and since they're already "old", no worries about what kids can do to them.

Lots of fun to make, priced to sell (as they say) since this is a new collaborative effort...

Very cozy & snuggly.

Got binding?

Hate binding?

After making some quilt binding for the amazing Debra Spincic, I'm offering to cut & press binding for you quilters who hate to do it. You can send me your own fabric; I'll do 10 yards minimum for $8.99 plus shipping.

Contact me at by email if you're interested.

I'll have this up on my Etsy site as well soon. Check that out for some beautiful tshirt quilts!
