Janice, back the front of the shirt with a fusible tricot interfacing to give the fabric extra body. Then, cut the shirt fronts into consistent size squares. If I recall, I cut 12-1/2″ squares for my quilt. The blocks can be sewn next to each other or separated with sashing strips—crosswise strips of fabric about 2″ wide. Hope this brief description helps! Nancy

Hello Nancy,
I love your show and I watch it every Saturday afternoon if I am home!

I was wondering if you have any tips or hints for making a T-shirt quilt? I have many T-shirts from trips I’ve taken. I don’t wear them anymore ( some, sadly, no longer fit ) but I don’t want to throw them away. They are nice reminders of some fun times. I don’t know where to start!

Thanks!
Janice

I am looking for the instructions from one of your quilting programs.

It is a quilted bag to hold potatoes while cooking them in the microwave. I’d appreciate any information available. I’d like to make them for gifts.
Thanks,

Bonnie

I love this project, I plan on making several of these as table toppers for my sisters, we all get together and quilt every other year, this will be there quilt presents. The only problem I have had is my B-sewin here in Tulsa, Ok. can’t seem to get the quilt templates, I have only been in there 5 different times to get these plates, I finally contacted my sister’s quilt shoppe in Wichita, Kansas and she will order them for me. But not even that dampens my excitement to make this project. I love all you do Nancy, for all of us . Thankyou again for sharing with me.
Sincerely,

SR Eaton

I was so glad to find this program on the internet. I no longer find your programs locally on PBS and I really miss them. Would like to see more of you—especially enjoyed the serger segment.

I loved the video and how easy the wall hanging is to make! I ordered my templates today as they did not have any on hand at my B-Sew-Inn. They should have them in by Monday and I can hardly wait to get started on my Christmas Gifts using those templates. I love your show on Sat Mornings and have learned a lot from you! Thanks so much!

This is a fantastic, quick project and wonderful. As soon as I can get out to my dealer to pick up the supplies, I will immediately start to have it done for the holidays.

In as much as I am an experienced sewer and quilter, I enjoy watching your TV programs every week.

Thanks for your shows.

I loved the video. I am not a quilter, but I am so excited about doing this project. I don’t have the template yet, tomorrow I am going to a class, so I hope our shop here in Tulsa has it. Thankyou for sharing with me.

I love Sewing With Nancy, but can only get it Saturday 6:30 am. I have watched for many years. I sat by you for lunch when our sewing group came to your place several years ago. I have an autographed picture from your store. You helped me more times than you will ever lnow, thank you.
Keep up the good work and know I watch ( as early as it is )
Sincerly,
