Two years ago, longtime reader Jacob C. was expecting his first child, a daughter. āI wanted her to have a handmade video game quilt, unrivaled in awesomeness as only they can be.ā Problem is, neither he nor his wife quilted.
Jacob enlisted the help of four female friends (āMaija, Grace, Rebecca, and especially Carol) to guide his project. The mushroom theme was chosen because of its status as the ultimate 8-bit video game blessing. It took a long time, but it is his daughterās two-year-old birthday present. So congratulations and happy birthday.
Quilting might not be considered a manful art, but if you flip the premise and call this a blanket mod then I suppose weāre on the right track. Anyhow, if games arenāt just for boys, then game crafts arenāt just for girls. So man up and get sewinā.
