EvilPixie Jan 2018 2:01pm, 13 Jan 2018 12,639 posts	Quote Pin EvilPixie plus seeing as I some how agreed to enter a quilt at the festival of quilts in august (and my friend won't let me forget it!) I need a quilt ..... the theme is stitch through time so this could double as an entry as they all tend to have dates on them!

Cyclops Jan 2018 2:06pm, 13 Jan 2018 3,310 posts	Quote Pin Cyclops I don't think he knew/knows that much about it so he just used the t-shirts he had and sewed them together!! There are cotton and technical tees in there - I know because I recognise the races and the t-shirts they gave.
