GLENWOOD SPRINGS — The international ski-racing career of local businessman Johnny Buxman was all wrapped up under the Christmas tree this holiday, in the form of memory quilts made from dozens of his colorful ski-race bibs.
The quilts, four altogether, were gifts from Athena Buxman, 92, to her son, Johnny, and from Regina Buxman, Johnny’s wife, to her father-in-law, John Buxman.
Turning the stacks of bibs that were stored in a trunk into quilts, which can be displayed on a bed or from a rack on the wall, has been Athena’s dream for years.
This year, with the help of Regina and seamstress Angie Herrington of Silt, the dream finally came true.
