It was great to talk to you V and sure happy to know you're doing much better.  I will not tell these guys what class you were in.....your secreat is good with me!    Actually, I would like to see some pics of that t-shirt quilt.  I've still got a bunch of Harley shirts that I just don't know what to do with.

Marty, I told V that first picture you posted was a really good picture of her and that I was going to ask you to repost it.  I was sitting right there when that pic was taken and remember it well.....memories.  And her first west coast GTG....has to be memories for her, too.  Put it back up Marty....that's V as we know her....always smiling.

Thanks for the heads up.  However, just wouldn't be the same as one that's made from somebody you know.  V is somebody that I've rode with through several states on the east coast as well as a couple states on the west coast.  Hell, she put about 500 miles on my back seat here in Calif. and Ore. before Terrie got heat sickness then V had to ride Terrie's back the rest of the way back to Sacramento.   Memories.....

What's happening V? From one old member to another. Good to see ya around. I may need another introduction.

[CVOMOE!!]

A very warm welcome back V.  I was wondering what happened to you.  Glad to hear you are on the mend and will be riding again soon.

Cheers, Moe

JC!!  You crack me up!!  Exactly how long did it take you to log on and tell that one?  

Vee:  I'm sorry I couldn't talk I was in class.
JC:  What kind of class are you taking on a Saturday?
Vee:  A Quilting by Machine class.
JC:  A what? A quilting class?  Hehehe. So you're over the hill now?

Well, JC you see longarm machines have handlebars with rubber grips that you drive them with and I was going through withdrawals so I had to do something!!!
Let's see....I limp, I bought a walker with wheels, took two cruises, and took up making t-shirt quilts in the last year.  Yep, officially, I'm over the hill!!

Actually, I wanted to make all five boys t-shirt quilts with all their little league, football, and school t-shirts.  And then I discovered they cost $500-$800 each depending on size.  So I decided I'd just take a class and do them myself.  So Saturday was part 2 of the process.  I was learning to machine quilt them.  Just for your benefit, I'll post a pic of what I was working on Saturday.

V, good to see you back online 

 Terry and I were just talking about that.

I love that pic!!  That may be my fave pic from whole trip.

[TheVgirl]

This is the class I was taking on Saturday, JC.  This is a "pantograph" stitched on a quilt from edge-to-edge and can be done freehand or computer-driven.  Boring, I know!!

[TheVgirl]

This is the finished product.  This is a quilt I just finished for my bf's 50th birthday with a bunch of shirts he had leftover from his coaching days that were stuffed in drawers or collecting dust in the closet.

another shot

Instead of trying to make the border with the shirt pockets, chest emblems, and those logos on the back of the sport shirts, I made a mini version of the pattern for pillow shams.
