I had planned to complete my Hitchhiker scarf for my June 2014 ALYOF...planned. What happened was I missed it by that much. There are 41 rounds with eight rows to each round. I figured, "I've got this. I'll do one round per day at the minimum and there's no way I won't have this done in time. Yes, I'm laughing so hard now I'm peeing my pants. As you can see from the photos below, I am a little less than half finished. I just completed round 18. So, I am going to attempt to be a Miss Smarty Pants and see if I can get my act together to finish this beautiful scarf for my July 2014 ALYOF project.
Now don't think I've been idle, au contraire mon frere. I was at my quilting sew-in a few weekends ago and was so inspired by a contest entry to a, "Build a Snowman" quilt contest. It was just the kick in the pants I needed. Lately I feel like Dr. Evil stole my Mojo and I just have not been inspired to do anything creative.

But this lovely little Hula Snow Girl was entered while I was at the shop. I just could not stop looking at her. And then I thought she needs a MAN. Then this guy shows up at the window begging to be let in. Oh no, she needs a tough guy. So I created a biker for her.
Here are a few close ups of the details on this mini quilt. Now, I would love to say this was all me but it was not. Carolyn crafted the Do Rag for me and it was her idea to add the tiny motorcycle charm I had as a necklace. Scott's idea was to add the cigarettes. You can see the tiny beginning of his tattoo, over his heart: It says, "Mom." I had such a good time that I plan on getting back into the sewing room today after I finish this post.
I just love how this turned out.
I am so proud of the creativity and the group
ideas. It was a lot of fun.
