The quilt I made for William Shatner (Capt. Kirk Star Trek)
First of all, let me say that the earliest memories I have are watching Star Trek on Thursday nights with my dad. William Shatner is the only actor I have ever admired. When he created his own forum, I was one of the first to sign up. Through the years we all became a very close knit family.
Bill had hosted a charity paintball game in Juliet, Ill for the past several years and I decided to try my hand at paintball. (ow, hurts A LOT) But anyway, I had the idea of having the regular forum posters making quilt squares and sending them to me so I could make a quilt. This immediately went nuts!!! I was sending plain white quilt squares all over the world!!! It was amazing! So I pieced all the squares together from fans all over the globe, and made them into the quilt that you see...
This was the first time I met Bill Shatner (but not the last!!!) and it was amazing! I had also made a smaller quilt for his daughter, Lisabeth. It's just something I'm very proud of!

I'd be proud too! That is a pretty cool story. So when did you gift it to him? Was this picture taken after the paintball game? Which one in the picture is you? I too remember Star Trek as a kid but my mom was very strict about bed time so I didn't truly get into the series until it was in syndication.
