So this might be the raddest thing ever. Sarah Neuberger of A Small Object wrote a letter to her niece and then had it printed on some fabric {through the company Spoonflower that lets you design your own fabric $17/yard.} Then she made it into a quilt–such a beautiful idea. It has got my creative juices flowing, just think of all the things you could do! Read more about it right here.

That is incredible! My brother passed away a few months ago. I think I’m going to use the letters and things he’s given my kids to make some fabric for a quilt for them.

Great personal idea. I imagine a letter written in a beautiful, flowing handwriting script.

Jordan, that is amazing. Do you know of a source that can take your fabric and turn it into a quilt. I have some quilt pieces that my grandmother created but she never made the quilt. I really want to turn them into a quilt but dont have teh time to learn to sew myself! Plus I have no idea what pattern would work and I would need to add lots of other fabric pieces to put it together. Does anyone have any ideas?

I was in this brand new sewing/fabric shoppe out here in Utah and they had a kit to make a Very Hungry Caterpillar Quilt and had a sample. It was incredible, I need to go back and take a picture so I can post about it!
