for the "biker" in him....

My son, Gavin, is a Harley guy.

I asked him if he would consider parting with a few of his t-shirts so I could make a quilt for him.

(he probably has as least one hundred of them!)

So, he sent me his Sturgis shirts.

(Christmas day at our home - kinda messy!)

Gavin is behind his quilt...he's tall!

 

 

Here are some close-ups...

 

 

He & my hubs have gone to Sturgis, SD, the past 3 years together and had a blast.

I guess that makes us a Harley family!

 

 

I loved turning them in to a random setting. 

It's a bit challenging, but oh, so fun!

 

 

A sweet friend, LyNet, had made a label quilt and had some Harley Davidson labels left over. 

(thank you, LyNet) 

So, she sent them to me and I added them to

Gavin's quilt. 

They look so great - filled in the empty spaces!

 

  

 

 I really like this "license plate" patch with the label on the side.

 

 

 

I used a red minky for the backing and wool batting.

(guys like puffy quilts)

 

 

Here we are, me and my son, "biking" through West Yellowstone - on our way to Sturgis last summer.

It was the vacation of a lifetime for me!

I love you, son.
