    I just wanted to take a moment to thank my Mom and share what she just did for me. My Mom is a >75 year old cancer survivor but stays more active than most people I know. In addition to playing golf multiple days a week, and heading up her golf group and being president of her HOA, she is one helluva seamstress.

    When I mentioned I wanted a pinball cover to protect the game I have that can get sunlight on it she offered to make it for me. Then she thought it would better if it was customized a little. That customization became what you see in the pics. She made a custom applique of each of the games that I have/have had in my collection.

    I hope you guys think it's as cool as I do.

    Thanks, Mom. You rock!

    . Thanks guys.

    You’re right. I think she should open a shop. After all the effort I’m not sure if she’d be too up for that.

    Thanks very much. I’ll be sure to tell her. Actually, I’ll send her a few screen shots too. I’m not sure if she’ll believe me if I just told her.

    Glad you think it was as cool as me.

    My daughter (15) did most of the design work but she didn’t want me to mention her. She took pictures and screen shots from on-line pics and then modified to make the layers for the applique. We then tweaked until it was something my mom could make.

    Shhh, don’t tell her I told you.

    Quoted from Daditude:I have a need for 5. Ask her what she wants to make them.
    Those are awesome!

    Do you mean 5 logos or 5 covers? I’ll ask her but no guarantees.

    Sorry for the delay; I didn't see your response. She made them. My daughter helped design the layers then my mom cut them out layer by layer then sewed them together then finally to the cover. Pretty cool.
