Matt's Quilt

Well, boys and girls, I finally finished Matt's quilt. Actually, it has been done for a couple of weeks now but just finished the binding on it last week. Matt was really, really sick and had been out of school for two weeks with an abscess on his tonsil, which had to be aspirated....long story.....but anyway, I surprised Matt with his quilt. He looked at my hands and said, "Is it done?" I said yes. He was laying with an old yellow thermal blanket on and I laid his quilt over him. He said..."No, mom, take the yellow blanket off." I took the yellow blanket off and then laid the quilt over him. He said, "thanks mommie, I love it"....I told him I had to have a picture of the quilt though too for my book. He said, ok, but don't put it on your blog....oh well, tough, because here it is...




Needless to say, I haven't been able to get it away from him since. I took it out of his room to show my mom this weekend and he had a fit saying...."that blanket doesn't leave my room." He tells his friends, you can't sit on this blanket either. So, I'm thrilled he loves it. I even made a matching pillowcase.

I've made Junior's quilt as well and am finishing the binding on it too as well as made a pillowcase for him too. However, I won't be posting a picture of his quilt until after I give it to him for Christmas because he does not know it's for him and he might see my blog. Also, if I have time, I'll be making new quilted Christmas stockings for Matt and Junior. Matt's has been used since he was a baby and I'll be making a more "grown-up" stocking for him. Pictures of all these things to follow.
