Do you know someone who has a closet full of t-shirts and doesn't want to get rid of them because they hold sentimental value?  Many t-shirts recall important events in a person's life. Combined with fabrics that celebrate a favorite activity or place, they become uniquely personal keepsakes. 

In her newly released book, Fabulous Tee Shirt Quilts, Carol Schuetz will convince you that a t-shirt quilt is like a scrapbook but better because you can sleep under it!  Available at various quilt shops and amazon.com, it retails for $23.50 USD.  If you start now, you may be able to complete a quilt before the holidays!

   "Russian Sunflower" by qltcrzy 

As the leaves change color and the nights begin to cool, we cling to the memories of summer.  All too quickly the flowers in the garden begin to fade and turn to seed.  Before long the beauty of the garden is only a memory as we wrap ourselves heavy coats and woolen sweaters. 

But each season creates a beauty all its own. Fall brings the glorious colors shades of yellow' orange and red to the trees.  Winter is that touch of glitter you see when peering through a frosty window.  Spring brings us excitement as we spot the first flower buds opening.  And before we know it the weather is once again warm and sunny.  So enjoy each season for what it has to offer us.
