| Joe is my middle brother, and biking buddy. I've know for how long that his birthday is in October, and yet still didn't get his quilt to him until November. |
For those of you who may not have had the pleasure of
seeing Joe in his full cycling "glory", here's a shot of him in a some of his more tame attire. So if you see this guy on the street, please just point and laugh. That's what we do.

| Quilted with leaves in the outer red border, and bike fabric for the inner border. |

| The fabric for the bike applique is something I found specifically for this specifically for Joe. I call the color "Make Your Eyes Bleed" green. Then I was having issues with my usual sewing machine. I stitched the whole applique down with glow in the dark thread, but after quilting it, found out that a good chunk of the applique stitches were coming undone. Mom, and her sewing machine to the rescue, and I restitched around all of the applique, again with glow in the dark thread. Actually, it turned out better this way, and now the bike really glows. Kind of like Joe. |
