Thursday, January 7

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.
