A first ever quilt...

Completed Projects 2012

Jun 16

I had a wonderful day today sewing and swimming with my mother and son. The best part was when Sam asked if he could sew a new blanket for "Panda" his panda pillow pet. Of course I said YES! I told him first he needed to pick out some fabric. He said he would go ask Panda what his favorite color is. When he came back from his room, I had given him a selection of fabrics to choose from to which he replied "I will take these to Panda and let him decide." :) I love this sweet boy!

Can you see the determination in his face?

He's doing a great job for this first time "all on his own, with no help from Mommy!"

After he squared up his two front pieces, he decided that a couple of the "scraps" should become stripes. So, it was time to put it on the design wall for a look. I absolutely love his creative design!

Time to add the stripes...APPLIQUE BY MY 6 YEAR OLD SON!!

Still very intent.

Now comes the quilting. He used some zig-zag stitches and some straight stitches. We chose to wrap the back around to the front for the binding to save time. He really wanted this one done today!
