She has been working on it for the past 18 years, having the name of each coach and player with the Wildcats since 1903. Currently, she is selling it for $150,000 on Ebay, but she hopes to see it reach $200,000 since she has worked so hard on it.
Heck, this should be selling for millions, or should be in a museum, like the National Quilt one nearby in her state.
Here is the description on her Ebay:
The Only (1) in the whole world and can never be reproduced. Began hand embroided in 1994 all the the Kentucky Letterman players names with dates of playing starting from 1903-2012 are on the quilt. The wildcat quilt also had all head coaches and the dates they coached. All NCAA (7) Championships are listed from 1948, 1949, 1951, 1958, 1978, 1996, 1998 .......... Plenty of room to add 2012 Championship on the quilt. Many blood sweat and dears have been put into the greatest creation by a Kentucky Wildcat fan. The reason was wanting to sell the quilt is that I am geting older and have carpal tunnel and eyes not as good as they used to be. Hope someone will love the quilt as much as I do and placing the names of future players to continue the legacy. There are plenty of room to add on for many years. Some of the logos represent Tony Delk, Travis Ford, Mark Pope and our wildcat mascot.
- Authentic Signatures include the following Mark Pope, Josh Carrier, Winston Bennett, Kelenna Azubuike, Antwain Barbour, John Hood, Darius Miller, Deandrel Liggin, Josh Harrellson, Scott Padgett, Tony Delk, Head Coach John Calipari
- The face of the Wildcat mascot was hand embroided, took 6 months to finish to perfect the 3 dimensional look
- The basketball shoes represents Mark Popes number on them
- The wildcat dunking the ball represents Tony Delks and Travis Ford number
- The dimensions of the quilt is 9X9 (King Size)- ONE OF A KIND ITEM Never to be reproduced
