Here's one for the bleachers and the upper tier UVA All-Cavalier

This is the third quilt I have made for members of this familiy.  First was mom anf then the oldest child and now Kiddo #2.  Like most high schoolers in Fairfax County, the recipient was extremely involved with extra-curriculars while maintaining a stellar GPA.


The recipient is following his brother from Oakton High School to the University of Virginia.  Many UVa  as well as Oakton garments were used in the design,  There is a  Tennessee shirt as this is the alma mater of both parents.


The original lettering for the school name ran down the entire length of the sleeve, thus makin it too long to fit in a typical block.  Luckily the word divides into 2 syllables each with 3 letters and I was able to create an interesting layout.

This T. Rex shirt must have been worn when the recipient was a small child as the size was tiny.  I personally love this design as the dinosaur is so cute.

'm talking PGA. Pro Tour 2 I'm Attorney Beck on the TV in my golfin' shoes

This quilt was designed a memorial for the dad of the recipient.  His daughter had kept many of his shirts after his death but never put them together.  Her husband (the son-in=law) commissioned this as a Christmas present. 


The honoree was an alumnus of the University of Notre Dame and 
Fordham University School of Law.   In addition to practicing law, he was a lover of golf, both as a player and spectator.

He also gave back to his community as a volunteeer firefighter in Larchmont, NY,

A lawyer was playing golf when he got hit by a ball. When the player came over looking for the ball, the lawyer said "I'm a lawyer, and this will cost you $5,000." "I'm sorry," said the golfer, "But I did say 'fore'." "I'll take it," said the lawyer.
