Hi, I’m Tammy. I’m a mother of 4 and 5 grand kids. I love sewing.  It is what gives me my greatest joy – taking whole pieces of fabric or the smallest piece of fabric and creating something.   I have not taken any formal classes because of work and family obligations. So Youtube at night has been my teacher. I wanted to share the quilt I made using my dads shirts.  I used the Disappearing Hourglass pattern from Missouri Star Quilt Co. I used 6 shirts and 2 yards of a print on print white cotton.

When I saw the Disappearing Hourglass pattern demonstrated by Missouri Star Quilt Co., I knew that would be the pattern I’d been looking for to use my dad’s shirts.  I worked on in it for about 2 weeks after work.  I taped it up on the wall  and took photos to pick the final layout. I was excited to find the quilting template of horses to honor my dad.  He loved his horses and took several wilderness trips on horseback. I still have the sleeves of the shirts and a few of his ties  to use in another project.  I am looking at making a bear out of the ties. I’ve been sewing for several years off and on as time allows.  I’ve quilted for a couple of years.   Now we have something to wrap around us to keep his memory.
