Comic Relief

Have you seen the Pickles cartoon lately? I got a kick out of them (as did certain members of my family, especially those who happen to be allergic to the fabric store). Please click on the pictures; I can't figure out how to enlarge them without distorting the whole thing.

Both quilts together.

My dad wanted to do these quilts as part of the family reunion last year, but since I was defending my thesis two days after the reunion, I didn't make it to that one. Not to worry, the shirts stayed put, and I just upped my completed project list. :)

The Secret Project revealed

Here is a preview of one of the projects I was working on for the family reunion. Seeing as how they've been delivered to their intended recipients, I think I'm safe now.

I made two t-shirt quilts out of our old family reunion t-shirts and then had family members sign it. This picture is of the one with red sashing. I took this one out for a photo shoot before the reunion. You can see the swing my dad got as a Father's Day gift. It's really nice, but heavy. I made the mistake of pushing it out of the way while mowing the lawn. Yeah, I've got a nice bruise from it, but at least it makes a great background for the quilt. Anyway, more pictures to come. California was fun. It's a nice place to visit, but I don't think I'd want to live there. Too many people and way too much traffic for my taste!
