Okay so I've got a stack of 914 shirts from the different event's I've been to over the years. Just keeps getting bigger. Many of them I have multiple's of. As I start looking at the stack. I figure I need to do something I can enjoy with them. Cutting down my stack of shirts. While still using them in some cool way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I come up with a plan & I start cutting them all up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) . WTF would I do that you ask? I cut out the logo's & the backs. Setup my quilting boards. Clamped stuff up & went to town. This are seriously time consuming. After poking myself with all the damn needles. I did manage to get it all in place & thought it all looked good. Took off the top layer to sew all the shirts in place. Finished that & got it all back on the rack. WAs a little unsure how to do the border but I think I pulled it off. Anyway here are some pics. I will bring it to the next 914 meet I can get to.

So what do you all think. I know it isn't the typical project here. Plenty of 914 content though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Cool! I used to make a product for quilting (Q-Snap Frames) and hand needle arts. It was very good for several years, but after '01 it was a continual decline. Hand needle arts is a waning art. So nice to see you make something nice and functional out of your old 914 memorobilia.

Not that there is anything wrong with quilting mind you.

Took the words right out of my mouth! Really I believe that’s gotta be the coolest 914 art I’ve seen.

Are you going to use the Tee shirt now with a big square hole in the back? It could be a fashion statement like the girls jeans pre made with wear holes.

This is too funny. I honestly made the comment a few days ago that I need to do something with all the event shirts I have from over the years. My mother, who quilts (used to), said we should make a quilt out of them. I am going to show her this, so maybe there will be two 914 event quilts in the not to distant future.

I came up with the Idea as my mother in law made quilts for all my kids for graduation. They used shirts from their years in school. From band, choir & sports. It was a great graduation gift they all use & love. When she finished my sons this summer. I jokingly said hey I have bunch of shirts you could do one for me. She smiled & said she'd love too. I think she said it take her about 20 hours.

It really is a great way to use our shirts for something cool. As far as where can you buy one. First off you need to have a pile of shirts. Then learn how to make a quilt or pay someone to do it. Not sure if my mother in law would be interested in doing that. It really would end up being a pretty speedy blanket. I probably have $200 in shirts alone in it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

If I did that to my 914 shirts, what would I wear? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


Looks great!
