T-shirt quilt progress and a new cross stitch project
I was tired when I got home from work and just couldn't face working on that middle shirt again so I decided to work on the shirt below it.  I go it over half quilted.  There is a lot of outlining to do; all I have left to outline are the two bottom rows of text then I can meander stitch the background where the safety pins are and then that shirt will be done.  
The area circled here will give you an idea of how much I have left to quilt not including the small bits on the middle shirt I still want to do.
I did finish stitching the piece for my sister for Xmas so I needed to start a new cross stitch project.  I stitched this angel years ago and no longer have the chart.  It was stitched on Aida and is kind of faded.  It probably needs washed.  LOL!!  I am stitching two of them for gifts by just counting the stitches on the one I made.  For colors, I want them to be slightly different and I am also using different base fabrics.  I am stitching them at the same time, section by section.  You can see the little hole that the dowel goes into.  The dowel is in a little wood block.  I will have to take a picture and post that so you can see what the finish piece looks like.
It is not going to be freezing cold this weekend so I am going to try to spend a bit of time in the garage making the frame for my sister's piece and making the little stands for the angels.  I am going to try and get the t-shirt quilted and at least get started on the binding.  Have a great weekend!

i like the screw it shirt - that's pretty much how i feel about today ...
sweet angel!!!
We are getting rain today, I wonder if it will get to you tomorrow. A good weekend to work in the garage and quilting.
I'm a couple of days behind reading so I'm guessing that the quilt is done already....probably the angels too!
