It's Throwback Thursday here at Quiltin' Jenny, and I hope you'll link up and share your own creative adventures from your pre-blogging days.
It's The Pit Boss's birthday on Sunday, so I thought I'd share the only quilt I ever made just for him. Which is sad, now that I think about it, because there is no one more important to me!
I found this flannel panel and the coordinating fabrics at a wonderful shop in Dahlonega, Georgia called Magical Threads. (They have knitting supplies as well.) I took it all on retreat with me one year around 2002 when my BQF Pam and I went to the Quilter's Rescue Mission, now called Quilting in Toccoa.
It was super simple - just borders around the panel. I did some of my earliest FMQing in the gold border and in the panel. I wasn't sure how to quilt the sky, so I chose an imaginary point behind the house where I pictured the setting sun and quilted radiating lines out from there.
TPB has always dreamed of living out the country on a lot of land with fewer people around. That is not exactly how our life has turned out! I called this quilt His Cabin in the Woods since it is looking less and less like he will ever get a real one. Sorry, Honey!
This quilt still lives on the back of our couch and is the go-to quilt when someone is feeling sick, grouchy, or otherwise pitiful and needs comfort.
Now I want to see your blast from the past. Link up and let us all see!
Please feel free to link up your own Throwback Thursday post. These can be crafty, cooking, or family related. Keep it clean!
