A Long-Awaited Project

These are the last of the dress shirts to be taken apart.

Over the last few months, 

I've slowly taken apart quite a few dress shirts.

Some came from elder son's closet

as part of the preparations

before Mr. Marvelous arrived.

Others, like this group, were given to me

by another quilt maker who had already used

the backs for a project of her own

but didn't want the fronts/sleeves.

For the last few months,

we've slowly been culling DH's closet

in anticipation of a major change.

DH celebrated his 65th birthday last week

and recently announced his retirement date.

His last day in the office will be early June with

his final day of employment in early August.

So what is a quilt-making wife to do?

Help DH celebrate 

this long-awaited milestone

by making him a shirtings quilt 

named RETIRED!
