Our youngest son Harley has been moaning at me for the past 18 months to make him a lap quilt for when he is playing his games ( I must add at this point he is 17 years old) lol. His complaint was I don't ask for much and you make everyone else things and none for me! So what could I do but sit down and try and make something without him knowing. I didn't want to make him something run of the mill and wanted to use what fabric I had in so this is what I made;
To say he was happy with it was the understatement, he was more pleased with this than his galaxy 2 tablet! and he made my day when he came up to me later and gave me a great big hug and kiss and said "thanks mum and you know what it makes it the best cos you made it for me yourself! and I will keep it forever." Well being a big cry baby i burst into tears and vowed that if any of my kids ask me to make anything for them. Not only is there love and care gone into everystitch its something they can look back on and think my mum did that and just for me! what more could i really ask for?.The next highlight of christmas for me was my prezzie for my wonderful hubby he got me the Leah Day craftsy free motion quilting class! Amazing I have to say, especially when he complains I spend far too much time in my craft room now i will spend more time going to bed early - so I can watch the class in peace lol!
Well enough from me I hope everyone had a wonderful christmas and look forward to new year
