Treasures From Afar

Unique fabrics and t-shirts make up Michelle’s t-shirt quilt. Michelle brought these back with her from Africa after spending time in the Peace Corp. Mom, Katie, got them to us and we completed and shipped the quilt to Michelle in California for her birthday. When I asked Katie what Michelle thought about her present Katie replied with this picture with the words “the picture says it all”.

In your travels see if you can find a bazaar, market or local resale shop off the beaten path. Look for a t-shirt that is different or has words in another language. Hand printed or hand painted fabrics are special. You may never return to that place again and just may come across some treasures to include in your t-shirt quilt.
