I bet your quilt smells good.:) I love your acknowledgment of what teh shirt represented to you that creativity and freedom- and you imbuing your baby's life with it (and saving the shirt from terroristic maneuverings!

Hope the baby blanket lasts long past the baby stages.<br /><br />I've been emptying out my closet and I kept the tie-dye shirt I made a couple years ago. My mantra throughout the process was "What would a 20 year old wear" and then "What would I buy if I saw it?"<br /><br />Needless to say, the shirt was one of my exceptions. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://merhaba-ankara.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Shawna's Study Abroad</a>Shawnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09067038700631224709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571590790949407117.post-67582712929613980192009-06-25T17:30:28.752-05:002009-06-25T17:30:28.752-05:00hey i didn't know that you were a quilter........hey i didn't know that you were a quilter.......good idea!Artist Victoria O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00483045888226597565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571590790949407117.post-76231898817167530682009-06-25T16:15:27.546-05:002009-06-25T16:15:27.546-05:00How very clever.

It was black, with gold lettering that simply said "Eat Well, Stay Fit, Die Anyway". She said it was a stupid shirt, worn only by a stupid person.<br /><br />For that reason, I wore it until it literally fell apart. Which didn't happen before she became my ex-fiancee ;)Skunkfeathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563552997319253167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571590790949407117.post-2124253073758586992009-06-24T16:19:32.227-05:002009-06-24T16:19:32.227-05:00Most excellent resourcefulness.
