Here's a pic of a t-shirt quilt that I finished making for a customer
today. She brought me a bag of the t-shirts that she had collected
from 30 years of going to the Toad Suck Daze* festival in Conway each
year and I constructed them into the quilt you see here. I like how it
turned out! :)
* (Toad Suck Daze is an annual festival held in Conway, AR each Spring.
It gets it's name from the nearby Toad Suck Ferry on the Arkansas
River. Back when steamboats plied the Arkansas River waters, when the
river became impassable due to low water levels, captains and their
crews would tie up here and wait for levels to rise. While waiting, they
would drink at a local tavern where it was said that they would "suck
on the bottle until they swelled up like toads".)
