I would like to have our guests sign pieces of fabric which can then be assembled into a beautiful quilt for our wedding guestbook....the problem is, I don't sew!! We are having roughly 260 guests so the quilt will be rather large. Does anyone know of an individual or company where I can submit the fabric pieces and they can sew them together in a lovely pattern?
Wedding Quilt Guestbook?
There are tons of quilters out there. You could try the crafters on etsy.com. I know many people who quilt and would love a project like this one. What a great idea!! Just be sure to use indelible ink so that it can be handwashed. Try searching for your local quilters association and send them an email. I'm sure you will find someone to help!
Reply:can you sew a straight seam? yes? then you can put a rag quilt together. if you are interested let me know i will give you directions. honestly straight seams is all it takes for the sewing~
there are so many other things you could do with the squares so don't think a quilt is your only option.
btw make sure you have good quality archival pens on hand for the guests to sign the fabric. the best ones to use are sakura's pigma micron pens - you can get them in several colors as well as black and the ink is superb!
Reply:I love your idea! It's so cute! Is there a local craft store near you? If it's a locally owned one, someone there could point you in the right direction. We have a quilt shop in my town (weird, I know!) and they're always looking for fun projects to take on!
Congrats and good luck!!
Reply:maybe someone is your famioycould do it .. or youcould learn to sew esp with a maciene its reall not that hard im 20 years old and i learned to sew when i was 14 with a machiene and i was 10 when i learned with thread
Reply:I love the idea! I'm sure if you tell everyone involved.Someone will either volunteer or refer you someone they know.Also sure this will become a family heirloom.Congrats and Good Luck!
Reply:call seamstresses, dress makers, tailors, etc if they would be willing to do something like that or if they know someone who would
