I have heard about making T-shirt quilts for a long time.  It sounds like such a neat craft to make in order to preserve memories of your family’s past, but I’m the type of person who will put off a big craft project like making a T-shirt blanket, even if I’m really excited about it.  I will put it off for so long, that I may even wonder why I ever started saving those t-shirts in the first place.  Can you relate?

 

My friend Jessie, has been doing the same thing.  Being a farmer’s wife, she has been saving these cute little John Deere T-shirts that her family has worn through the years, for a long time. She’s even picked up a lot of the shirts at Goodwill and garage sales to get the shirts for the quilt ready quicker.  But…she found that she had so many projects going, she was never able to get her craft project done.  She still wanted to preserve the memories, but how to find the time?

 


 

Well, it just so happens that I was introduced to this new company called Project Repat.  You can send all of your t-shirts that you’d like made into a blanket, into their company and have them make your quilt for you!  How cool is that?  No sewing skills required of you!  They make the process so stinking easy, too, by showing step by step instructions on their site..

 

I was able to gather my friend Jessie’s t-shirts and have them sent in for her, to save her time.  Here’s the stack that I was about to mail in….as you can see, all greens and browns, because they were all John Deere T-shirts.

When placing the order, you get to choose which color you’d like on the back.  She chose gray.  Here’s a picture up close so you can see the thickness of the blanket.  It’s not too thick, but it was just right for the most comfortable blanket ever!

You send them all in and they send you an email when they receive your T-shirts.  Then, they turn your shirts into the most beautiful blanket full of memories!  You can choose different sizes, either a lap blanket (like we chose) a twin, full, queen or even a king!  Of course, the larger the blanket, the more t-shirts you’ll need.  We chose a lap blanket, because she just wanted it for her living room, so we only needed 16 panels.

 

 

 

Not long after we sent them in, I got another email saying that they were done with the quilt and that it was on it’s way back to me!  I was so excited to get it in the mail so that I could Jessie’s reaction.  Of course, I had to try it out on my own chair first to see how it looked….I think it turned out pretty sweet, don’t you?

It was hard for me to hide half of the quilt though when I folded it…lol, so I had to open it all up and drape it over the chair, too…so I could see what all of the shirts said.

Of course, when Jessie came over to pick it up, she was so excited to finally have her project done!  She loved it and so did her oldest daughter Alia!

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
