When I first got my sewing machine, in 2009, my young cousing got into an snowmobile accident and broke his back. He was a stunt rider, but at the time of the accident he wasn't doing stunts, just playing around. My family asked me if I would make a blanket to keep him warm during the months he would be on his back in bed. I gathered a bunch of pictures of him on his snowmobile doing jumps and stunts...and made them into applique blocks for his quilt. It was pretty much my first quilting project, and I had no idea what I was doing, but the local quilt shop gave me alot of great tips and showed me how to use a satin stitch and so forth. He treasures that quilt! And was just in awe when it was presented to him. That was the only memoriy quilt I made so far.
