I was so surprised and happy to see this thread! I felt like such a dork at Convention when I bought the Gamma Phi Beta crest cross-stitch kit (I was 23 at the time)  . I finished that one this winter, but I didn't realize before I started that the material they gave me in the packet was too small to include the lamp on top and the scroll with our letters on the bottom. So I've started a second one, now. Reading about you women who also cross-stitch crests will inspire me to finish it this summer!

If you can't find a graph pattern of your crest you can always go to
http://www.darklilac.com/upload.jsp
This is a site that can generate color cross-stitch charts from an uploaded image! I tried a relatively uncomplicated image (college crest) and it spewed out a wonderful chart with 64 colors to use. You can set a limit for the number of colors (I picked 100) you are willing to incorporate. It basically changes the pixels into stitch squares, but more importantly it matches the HTML color to the DMC floss color.

I am working on a Christmas stocking for baby #3. Baby should be born the end of August, so I hope to have the stocking done by Christmastime. Then when I get this one done, I'll start on a stocking for my nephew. and my brother is talking about adopting another baby girl, so I'll have her stocking to make after that (I have made all the stockings for my nieces & nephews as well as my own kids).
So I guess it's Christmas all year long at my house!

Congratulations, ForeverRoses! Alum, thanks for the link! You're lucky, having two tones of blue - I don't like to work with little colors while "outside".
And, I had completely forgotten that I have to make a quilt square by the end of July for an auction!

does making a t-shirt quilt count?

In my book it does! What was the theme of the shirts? What are you using for sashing? I love seeing everyone's projects. Can you mount a picture to this thread? I haven't figured out how to do that.
Last year I made 2 for our graduating hs sr. One consisted of all hs era activities from Scouts to clubs, teams, G School, Girls' State, Page Semester etc. The other were shirts from actual road races and invitationals. I found a batik fabric that was predominantly one of her hs colors for the hs quilt. I was lucky enough to find a women-running themed fabric for the race quilt.

I've been knitting scarves. I know it's hot and so hard to think about, but I want to give everyone a really nice scarf this year for Christmas. And I can knit nicer ones than I can afford to buy everyone.
I've been meaning to find a fun KD patten though for a wall hanging or pillow.

i am going to make my old TBS shirts into a quilt. I'm about 85% sure i have enough shirts to make a nice sized quilt. If not, i will sprinkle in a school shirt here or there or maybe an old band camp t-shirt... yes, i am a 28 year old woman and i said band camp t-shirt!
I have been thinking about doing it for a while but never actually started. This summer it will happen so this fall I'll have a cozy quilt to nap upon.
