(As I was reminded today!)
I do sew some and I have made a quilt, although it took me something like 18 years! Actually, it took me closer to 13. I have another one planned for Bill, but it's still in the planning stage because I'm looking for fabric that fits him.
Bill made the following quilts:
This one is bigger than our king size bed. It's very lightly batted but it is very warm. The top fabric is all official Army camo, it came from some uniforms that were surplus. The backing is a forest-type pattern.
This one was made for his step-mom for Christmas a few years back, it's slightly larger than a lap quilt.
He made two that year, this one was made for his mom.
This is the one he made for me, it's not quite as big as the camo quilt but it is probably slightly larger than actual king size. It's got a fuller, fluffier batting. It's warm but not as warm as the camo quilt and we use it in the spring and summer.
This one is the 13 year quilt! It's backed with solid blue fabric. The top fabric is a combination of types of fabric, some of it is stuff that Otter liked and some of it means something specific.
Quilting is something that Froggy does, it's her specialty and she makes some really spectacular quilts. It's her chosen art form, really it's her Gift. But I discovered that I don't have any pictures of any quilts she's made, or I would post them here.
