Lead Shot Bags…..Quilt?

[GOHUNT]

I called upon my older skeet shooting buddies to supply me some harder-to-come-by lead shot bags in order to have this shot bag quilt made. Turned out to not quite qualify as a quilt but they are sewn together, front and back, to make more of a throw than a quilt. Either way, it's a pretty unique addition to my man cave.

That is cool!

My wife hand quilts stuff and charges by how many feet of thread it takes. It runs into $$$$$ quick

That's pretty darn cool!!

I'd guess there are several bags in this work that haven't been made in 20+ years…and maybe y'all haven't seen.
As to cost of quilting, the lady I asked to do this (after I had the bags washed and cut open) had it in her possession for more than 2 years. When she got it back to me it wasn't laid out quite like I'd asked….but she didn't charge me a cent. I figured I couldn't complain.

I knew I was hoarding all those shot bags for a reason.

Very cool. Sorry I can't help with bags

Beware breathing lead dust from the bags.

Beware breathing lead dust from the bags.

Yep. I washed them. Have to be sure to wash them before you un-stitch them, otherwise they end up a big ball of thread

Very cool.

I like that. That'll be pretty nice.
