Beautiful! I bet you'll be his favorite aunt!

That's a wonderful looking quilt. I really like t-shirt quilts. You did a very nice job and I bet he loves it.

Very cool...what a great keepsake!!

I gotta ask...where was your avatar pic taken? We (my ex and I) use to do historic re-enactment, and you remind me of the fun we had in your primitive outfit. New Salemn maybe??

Wonderful job! I love it!

Love it!

Way cool! I hope your sister has a video camera going when he opens it! I would laugh so hard if he said he'd been wondering where they were!

I did stabilize the t-shirts. I bought a bolt of iron-on interfacing at Wal-Mart. There is some waste but a lot of that got used when I did the smaller sections. None of the blocks have pieced interfacing (it is not recommended). He called me the day his mom gave it to him. I'm not sure who has fonder memories, him or his mom!!
My picture was taken at St. Charles, MO at the 2004 signature event for the Lewis and Clark Expedition. So it is a much earlier time period than New Salem. Our family did volunteer quite regularly at New Salem during the 1990s - that's where our re-enactment activities started. We were always known as "Karen's mom and dad" never by our real names. We let the girls (3 of them) wander the village.As long as they stayed in the village other volunteers kinda kept an eye on them. Our youngest had one of her senior high school pictures taken there! That's how much she loved it, and still does.

We re-enacted the fur trade era. I was on the Board of Directors for Fort Creve Couer for a few years. I really do miss it!!

That is an AWESOME quilt.
Great Job!!!!
