So I have a bunch of event shirts from years past. I was talking with mom about how much this stupid little car we all love has been a big part of my life. I pulled out all these shirts and mom asked what I was going to do with them. some I have extras of, others I, um have out grown so she suggested making a quilt.

Gave her the shirts and a few months later she gave me this. Now you have to understand that she is 90, has developed bad arthritis in her hands, and her vision is not the best anymore. Very hard for her to see to sew. I will cherish this for as long as I live. Not only because of the 914 content, but I know how much she struggled to make it.

Love you mom!

A lotta love went into that quilt. Keep it, treasure it, pass it on one day. It's beautiful.

I know. I really don't think she understands how much this means to me.

Coolest story of repurposing 914 tee shirt's.
Millon dollar quilt for sure.

Family treasure for sure. It's amazing what moms will do for their children.

I hope you did something extra nice for her!
