So he is quite creative, and tie-dying a hanky would be well within his interests. And he's MANLY, dammit.

Ah hell, maybe they'd rather just smear it with some grease?

So do we want a theme here... funny cellar related embelishments and such... or just whatever we're into?

I think it would be neat to have something that represented you. Like I would maybe use an old race T-shirt or piece of labcoat or something...

I have read many books on quilting, but have never made it past the threshold of inhibition. I keep telling my quilter friend ... I have too many hobbies already!

I do own a sewing machine, though, and would enjoy giving this a shot.

We do need to establish the size of the blocks ... after that, it's pretty much anything goes.

Perhaps we could raffle it via the tip jar? Every $5 or $10 to the tip jar over a specific period of time represents a chance?

A knitted/crocheted sampler afghan could also be a cool group craft project.

I'll send in a square, if the project gets off the ground, but my sewing skill never matured beyond re-attaching buttons.

That sounds fun... Anyone want to teach me to knit??? I've always wanted to learn, but am way to dyslexic to try to teach myself from the books...

I like wolf's idea of buying chances for $X a pop. That way, it seems more fairer

DanaC · 12-09-2008, 05:41 PM

That's an awesome idea Wolf.

Ok, I will borrow mum's sewing kit and sew some backing cloth onto the Jute square. I'll try and get a square that has the university logo on it. If we do this, that is :P

I just started quilting, like, nonstop, so I'd be THRILLED to add a square.
