A friend went to see Eclipse on opening day. It’s likely I won’t see it (I haven’t read any of the books) and personally, my vampire alliances lie with the fangs of HBO’s True Blood, but my heart did do a bit of a stutter step (or perhaps it went pitter-Pattinson?) when I got this news via text from my friend: “There is a T-shirt project in the Eclipse movie! A tee quilt!” Then the news came pouring in as more of my friends went to see it. And here it is: Scores of T-shirt memories, stitched together, and then snuggled between RPatz and KStew!
How, might you ask, can you score a tee quilt like Bella’s mom made for her? You can gather up all the T-shirts from your recent travels, athletic feats, summer camps, bar/bat mitzvahs, tropical vacations–or vampire encounters–and make it yourself, of course! Just flip to page 220 in your copy of Generation T: 108 Ways to Transform a T-shirt to project #88 “Patchwork Punk.”

I actually have a t-shirt quilt! My mom made them for all 3 of us (me and my siblings) before we went to college. It’s pretty dorky, but in the most special sort of way. 🙂
The first time I saw a T-shirt quilt was actually in college — my next-door neighbor had one that her mama made of T-shirts from all of her track meets! And her brothers got them too, when they graduated high school. I love that your mom did that — and it is so wonderfully dorky! (Something I personally strive for on a daily basis 🙂 )
I was wearing my Ode To The Mullet when I saw this movie. I started cheering and my friends laughed at me but they should have known when I see any kind of tee shirt project I start cheering.
What can I say? That’s simply amazing — cheer on and on and on!
