And for his brother, I sewed a regular quilt from old bed linen, sponsored by their mom


The ragtime quilt was for my nephew

Best regards, Inge

That cash register cushion turned out great.

Inge, your quilts are amazing. I love quilts.

I’ve got quite a few “turn old into new” projects of my own. I love breathing new life into old things.

Lots of things made from old jeans...

A quilt made from old bed and table linens. Many of the fabrics have a history and remind me of friends and family.

WOW! Great pieces are being shown here
But I also found another quilt, which I once made from the front panels of shopping bags that I had all sewn myself. At some point the bags got out of hand, so I took them apart and sewed a quilt from them. Just as it was finished, my “sandwich daughter” came to visit; she saw the quilt and it was gone :-)))

Best wishes, Inge

Wow, it’s amazing what kind of quilt projects you’ve all created here. Especially the ideas for all the different things you can sew together. It almost makes me want to give it a try myself, but unfortunately I already have so many hobbies.
It’s really lovely to look at, though. Hats off to all that hard work.

Have a wonderful week of crafting, everyone :-)
