T-Shirt QuiltSharon Manion, SWBMAI secretary and board member, has created a fantastic quilt for our 2007 Jamboree. The quilt is made from original Bluegrass concert t=shirts from years gone by. It is 91×96 inches long (queen size) and includes 54 Bluegrass band t-shirts (listed below). The shirts have been stabilized with a fusible interfacing, 100% cotton was used for the backing and binding. Countless hours have been put into making this priceless quilt.

This beautiful quilt will be auctioned in some fashion in the near future. Details will be made available to the 2007 SWBMAI Jamboree. Please contact a board member with questions or more information.

All t-shirts were graciously donated by Dave “Hagar” Nelson, from Oak Creek, Wisconsin. The quilt was designed, pieced and quilted by Sharon Manion of Belleville, Wisconsin and donated to Southern Wisconsin Bluegrass Association, Inc.
