Another one of those 2 hrs or less excuses to not clean house :lol:

Housewarming gift for my biker best friend (hoping I don't insult by not making a Harley but I loved this chopper pic, lol). Fusible applique, design from a tattoo or something I found online. Showing how I'm labeling quilts now too, super simple, used twill tape for this one, usually it's grosgrain ribbon. This mini measures 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. I'll attach a little ribbon tie to the back for hanging because I know he'd NEVER use it for a mug rug. Oh, and my back binding isn't perfect because I did the 2 step machine option instead of a proper hand sewing. Thanks for looking!

I love it! I am a "biker" too, have been for 10 years. I have ridden my Harley all over the southwest. You did a great job.
