I've been doing lots of secret sewing! I made this quilt for my husband for Christmas. It's called Mod TV by Colourwerx. The original pattern is 48" X 54", but I added an extra row on the side and on the bottom. I had fun choosing the fabric from my stash, and was surprised that I could find so many fat quarters that matched, including solids which I only have scraps of. Apparently my scraps were large enough for the TVs! It was a lot of fun choosing what photos to use in the TVs.
I used a few family photos. I could have used more, but wanted it to be more of "my favorite shows" than a memory quilt. I used photo transfer paper that I purchased at Joann's with a coupon. My son let me use his inkjet printer, and I could get two images on each sheet. I used two packets of transfer paper. It was fun choosing my husband's favorite TV shows from his growing up years. He also loves old westerns.
I saw some John Wayne fabric online and fell in love with it! It's made by Riley Blake and is very soft fabric. I bought it on Etsy. I have been trying my best to make sure all the quilts I make have a label. I subscribed to Sweetwater's label club. Every month I receive two labels in the mail, usually themed to the season. This label was perfect, I just wrote the top line to personalize it even more.
I'm sure excited to see his reaction when he opens his gift Christmas morning. To tell you the truth, he never has a huge reaction to things, so we shall see!!!
Merry Christmas! I hope you are able to spend it with family this year.
