Why The Sopranos Quilt Didn't Get Madehttp://www.quiltingdaily.com/blogs/pokey/archive/2008/05/07/why-the-sopranos-quilt-didn-t-get-made.aspxAs my friends know all too well, I am slightly obsessed with HBO&#39;s The Sopranos , and inspired by a recent call for entries for an upcoming show in Long Beach , I came darn close to formally entering an art quilt dedicated to my Jersey boys.

Then I put on the tiara that I got from Esterita Austin (Misty Fuse) at a workshop and march around a bit. Afterwards I am off to feed the chickens .... and return to daily life - sometimes I forget to take off the tiara and the chickens cluck a bit in wonderment at the gold sequins. <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.quiltingdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1662" width="1" height="1"></description></item><item><title /><link>http://www.quiltingdaily.com/blogs/pokey/archive/2008/05/07/why-the-sopranos-quilt-didn-t-get-made.aspx#1663</link><pubDate>Sun, 25 May 2008 15:40:16 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">dd4ad8cd-147d-404a-a568-5abd2115af5b:1663</guid><dc:creator>Sonya</dc:creator><description>How beautiful and thoughtful!

I thought the hard bound book was the finale, but then NO, a gorgeous trivia game from silk no less! Beautiful. I bet Dot and *** are over the moon with the lovely loving tribute you all paid them. xoxo Jane <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.quiltingdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1666" width="1" height="1"></description></item><item><title /><link>http://www.quiltingdaily.com/blogs/pokey/archive/2008/05/07/why-the-sopranos-quilt-didn-t-get-made.aspx#1667</link><pubDate>Thu, 08 May 2008 16:10:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">dd4ad8cd-147d-404a-a568-5abd2115af5b:1667</guid><dc:creator>Pokey</dc:creator><description>Thanks for the kind comments, everybody! It really was a great evening and I loved that all of our talents came together as they did. My in-laws were blown away, which is exactly what we wanted. On another note, I now don&#39;t owe anybody a quilted anything so I truly am hunkering down to make my Sopranos quilt. I think I have a pretty good idea for it, and I don&#39;t think I&#39;ll rest until I see this through! Since I&#39;m not going to enter it into any show, I&#39;ll post my progress from time to time for feedback. (Who knows...maybe I&#39;ll muster up the guts to give it to the Man Himself, David Chase!) Again, everyone thanks for the kind words. <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.quiltingdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1667" width="1" height="1"></description></item><item><title /><link>http://www.quiltingdaily.com/blogs/pokey/archive/2008/05/07/why-the-sopranos-quilt-didn-t-get-made.aspx#1668</link><pubDate>Thu, 08 May 2008 00:07:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">dd4ad8cd-147d-404a-a568-5abd2115af5b:1668</guid><dc:creator>leslie jenison</dc:creator><description>That family trivial pursuit game may be the coolest thing I&#39;ve ever seen.
