Happy 80th Birthday, Dad!! - I made this quilt to commemorate my father's 80th birthday. I scanned over 350 photos into my computer, then grouped them into sections which represented the major areas of my father's life. I ultimately created 20 photo collages which were then printed onto fabric sheets in an HP inkjet printer and pieced together with sashing. My father is a former writer and WWII veteran who served on a submarine in the Navy. He is a very special and unique person. He has self-published 2 books - "To See What is Not Shown", poetry, and "Aches and Gains", an autobiography.
