I started cutting out these t-shirts back when we lived in Omaha in 2000 or so. I finally finished it! It is made from a lot of my husband's t-shirts from the 1990s or so. When I met him we were working for DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation turned COMPAQ turned HP). He could wear t-shirts to work. Now he works for a bank here in Raleigh and has to wear business casual... no more t-shirts LOL.

So here is the front:

The top and bottom borders are photos of Kevin wearing the t-shirts.

Here is the back:

The back is flannel and a few t-shirts to fill in. It is soft and the last view nights have been chilly here so he actually got to use it!You can see the quilting in this close-up. A local long-armer Cathy Kirk in Cary NC quilted it for me. She did peace signs in the borders.

There were a group of Grateful Dead fans at DEC who were called decheads. They made t-shirts and here is one of them.

We had email at DEC before the world was using email and we used those cute :-) characters a lot too. Here is one t-shirt that used them:
