Just a few weeks ago we were approached by a lovely young woman from the Chi Omega sorority at the University of Texas at Austin Texas. She wanted us to make a quilt from her organization's T-shirts to be used as a raffle quilt for their chosen charity, Make A Wish Foundation.As a way of keeping costs low, we asked Sallie to prepare the shirts by cutting, stabilizing and sizing them which she skillfully did by spending a few Friday mornings working with us in our Studio. We then completed the piecing of it for her and of course, did the quilting of it on our APQS Millennium machine.
Sallie had the quilt in time for the raffle which brought in a decent amount of money that went directly to the support of their wonderful chosen charity.
Do any of your supported organizations have a raffle coming up? Consider this very creative, useful, warm and profitable idea - make a quilt from your old T-shirts!
