T-shirt Quilt and the Scholarly Stitchers

This is a near closing event for a journey into my quilting with the Scholarly Quilters Group.  We have had such a great time over the years, but with retirement in December, it will shortly end for me.  We have at least one more project.  I will post some of our successes and accomplishments here between current projects I am working on alone.


This was a t-shirt quilt The Scholarly Stitchers from the libraries made for Weigel Library.  Weigel Library is a branch library for the architecture school at Kansas State University.  You probably cannot see that the sashings are architectural etchings.  The architecture t-shirts were saved by a retired Weigel librarian and our group designed and constructed the quilt around the t-shirts.  The quilting was done by a professional longarmer.  In the group from left to right--Alice, Regina, Connie, Gay, Barbara, Mary.  Cindy is the only one missing this year.  Our group started in 2001 with some of the same faces throughout the many years.  We have gotten smaller but much more talented, I think.
