A new Era of Heirloom Quilt

A new Era of Heirloom Quilt...in the last decades, a new era of "Heirloom Quilts" has arisen.  One of these is the "T-Shirt" quilt.  A quilt that has t-shirts from someone or somewhere that make up the blocks to commemorate a trip, a time in someone's life or to have something to do with t-shirts that are too dear with which to part. 

I am also finding that when these new heirloom quilts are made and used (as in the days of yore) they soon need to be repaired.  This is a labor of love that I am finding quilt fulfilling!  I love to pull apart the totally loved stitches and replacing them with new stitches ready to be loved again. 

The above is a wonderful t-shirt quilt that I am totally enjoying at the moment.  I usually don't do this sort of thing, but the owner touched my heart with her story of this t-shirt quilt and I couldn't refuse.  Today, I got the first row re-done and hope to get to work on it again soon!
