I sew. What you see above is a crazy memory quilt I made from the scraps of different projects. I tried to have only one piece from each project, but there are a few duplicates. This is what I made with the rest of the material.
1. A nightgown and pajama bottoms for The Girl. She tends to wear them together and look like she’s from India.
2. A leotard for The Girl. She wore it once, said it was scratchy and hasn’t worn it since.
3. Two shirts, three skirts, and a jacket for me.
4. PJs for The Girl.
5. The skirt for a costume for The Girl. She looked like Holly Hobby.
6. A nightgown for The Girl. Hmmm… seems to be a pattern here.
7. A skirt for me, that I later pulled apart, having discovered why you shouldn’t make skirts out of upholstery fabric.
8. A swimming cape for my mother.
9. A skirt for me, one of my favorites.
10. A swimsuit for me.
11. A cape for The Boy. Used in five succeeding Halloweens by one kid or the other. Still one of their favorites.
12. A nightgown for The Girl. She outgrew it in two years, but kept wearing it for another year and a half.
13. A Chinese princess costume for The Girl.

Everyone my age thinks I’m crazy but I desperately want to learn to quilt and knit. I have so many fabric swatches and yarn pieces that I need a creative outlet for it. You’ve renewed my determination to learn both skills as well as refresh my crochet skills.
Happy TT

Windows, Andi? You kidding? I’m not even good about dishes or sweeping.
I’ve talked about being a Suzie Homemaker before. Maybe it’s time I said a little more about it.
Wow it’s beautiful. As for number 12 I still have the top (which was a really long night shirt) to a pair of pajamas my mom bought when I was like 9… I’m 26 but still won’t give it up lol!
Oh My. This is one of the most touching and powerful TTs I have ever seen.
Powerful stuff, very inspiring. Thank you so much.
The Tour Manager and I were tossing around the idea of making a quilt out of the rally towels the Penguins have given us over the years. After seeing what you’ve created, maybe it’s not such a goofy idea after all…
It sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
What a marvelous crazy quilt!!! Lots of wonderful info here too ;–)
Hugs and blessings,
Great quilt & list – I NEVER throw out scraps either! They are always good for something.
