When Hobbies Converge

My wife is a quilter. A very focused, prolific quilter. Most of what she does is given away to friends and family or to local support groups or charities for auction. You can see more of her work here. And apparently she is running out of things to quilt. So now she has turned her attention to the barn.


The first project she completed was a cover for the hardtop for the Boxster. It sits on a little cart all summer, and the quilt keeps it from getting scratched or dinged as it gets rolled out of the way. It also keeps dust and overspray from settling on it.



Her latest project is a quilted cover for my barn TV. I don't actually get any stations on it since I'm too cheap to buck up for an extra satellite hookup for it. Instead, it provides occasional background entertainment with the replay of the decade of F1 races I have recorded over the years.

Rumor has it she's planning a car cover-sized quilt...
