This year's Crew Parent Shirt

My boy is on CREW, "we are not boy cheerleaders, we just escort cheerleaders". So each year I make a new design for our "go to the football games and watch the Crew" shirts.
I'm rather pleased... but then I'm easy to entertain. Mine is red, Pete's is on white, so his colors are in a different order to show up better on his color.

I like the stars embedded in the M

Today's project

After 3 years of sitting in a plain stadium chair we will finally sit in high style this year. 2 layer applique in vinyl on canvas. GO MARCUS!!!

The Family Tree Quilt

Editors Note:  Please keep in mind that I am a seamstress, not a photographer.  I am very aware of my talent limitations. 

Well after 6 months, it is finished. This was made to commemorate the 50th anniversary of my parents.

Each leaf is the hand of a member of the family

Each branch of the family is outlined in a different color, so it's possible to glance at a hand and know who that child belongs to.

Married couples have wedding rings, complete with "bling"

Name and date of the quilt

The stippling around the edges of the quilt is done with the text of "The Family: A Proclamation to the World"

Even the tiniest memebers of the family are included
