Steve's Quilt



My boyfriend, Steve, is an avid motorcyclist. He races Top Fuel Harleys, and collects little oil cans and t-shirts. He's really cute, and I love him very much. Oh, yes, he also builds these fast motorcycles, which travel along the race track at over 200 mph in just a few seconds. It is a science, this racing, and I'm still learning about it all the time. We'll be racing in Las Vegas the first weekend in November 2011.

I made this quilt for him from a collection of shirts he was saving. Shirts he liked, but didn't really wear.
He told me it is one of the best gifts he's ever received! Nice!!!!

Army National Guard Quilt...Finished!

I just finished the Army National Guard quilt made for Eula to give to her son, Troy, who served 12 years! I deconstructed a big pile of his army fatigues, and his duffle bag to make this quilt.

My son, Paul, couldn't look as I scissored into them. He could NOT see the point of tearing apart perfectly good camo clothing.








There are photos of Troy, his dad, and his grandfather, all who served in the US military. Also reproduced military certificates and badges Troy received.












Here is a close-up..........



I'm going to work on Shelley's super-colorful quilt for awhile before heading off to Seattle to water plants!

Cheerio!!!!!!!!!

Baby Achilles and some things I've made for him!








Here is a photo of myself holding BBA the day he was born. September 20, 2011. I have been in a creative flurry for months, making everything, and wanting to make more. I made a crow stencil for a onesie, and there is a photo of a close-up of his first real quilt from me, and a photo of the diaper bag I made for his mother. My daughter, Victoria.

I'm working on a quilt for a former member of the Army National Guard. Photos to come.......

A sweater I knitted for Achilles

I hadn't knitted in years and years. This was a fun project to start up the knitting habit again. I'm now working on a cabled afghan, but who uses afghans? Oh well, I'm knitting it anyway!

A Good Place To Start!

Achilles


Cutest GrandSon in the Whole World!

I'll start off my blog with that. I must learn about making it look fantastic and fun.

Off to water plants in Seattle.
