Quilt Reborn

I figured it out! I figured out how to get photos from my device to make a post! 🙌🏻 

I took these photos last night to share this quick project but then realized I wouldn't be able to get them here. But! I figured it out! So here they are...

Here's my quick sewing project- 

This week is my #1 son's birthday (on St. Nicholas Day) and tonight his dad and I will be meeting up with him (and his brother) for a birthday supper in the big city.  I recently found this quilt in a storage closet in the barn. It is the quilt I made for Kris when he was a boy and he loved it and used it daily.

 

I've since learned a lot about fabrics and how poorly some are made. In the future any project that I hope will last a lifetime will need to be made from high quality, expensive goods. This quilt, just from a normal amount of love and wear, has fallen apart and is irreparable.

What I did was cut parts from the middle, the less worn area, to make a pillow cover to give Kris for his birthday.

Though less worn, the fabric is still very fragile so won't last a long time but he will get a bit more enjoyment out of his boyhood quilt.

(I had to switch to my laptop to finish this post as the digital device was too uncooperative but at least now I can get photos transferred which was the main reason I was unable to make many posts this year)
