Our grandson turned 3 recently! I made him a twin size quilt with all firefighter fabrics..He loves to play with trucks, cars, firefighter trucks, etc...so I thought this would be just perfect for him. You really can't see the fabrics too well, but you can get the gist of what I am telling you! Our little guy loved it, so did his mom but she wants to put it away and not use it! I told her this is to be used, abused, and used again...it will last...not to worry! The pics are not that good...but you get the idea of what I did here~
I am a participant of the Stitcher's Angels...so I am going to finish up my projects for that this week and send them on their way to a place far off....to someone who is very talented....and in following her blog she is an inspiration to me! I can tell you that this has been fun...learning about new quilters, stitchers~what they are up to and what they like...I also made this pillow (shown below)! A little boy named Jacob was looking for something for his mother for her birthday! I decided to let him trace and color his hands on fabric, let him do what he wanted..on another piece of fabric he wrote and drew some things....then I made it into a pillow for her! It is very simplistic, yet just perfect! Jacob was so proud of making this! His mom, Cherrie loved it! I was so happy for them..Have a great day! Erin

Hello Erin, a salute from Rome. Ciao
The firefighter fabric is just right for your grandson . . . I do hope Mama will allow him to use it. Snuggles from Grandma every day *s*
Your pillow is a great idea.
Your lucky grandson will know that his grandma made the quilt with love and will remember that everytime he snuggles with it!
The pillow project is a great idea. Nice of you to help out a little guy.
Erin....just love that quilt! And sure your grandson will treasure it too...I really like red, white and blue quilts - they have such a good "feel" about them don't they? Like the way it's pieced too - is it a traditional block? The cushions are a great idea too! Very effective. Well done1 Jan xxx
