While visiting Cathi's friend, Kacy, in Jacksonville; she asked if I would make her second son, Thompson, a quilt with his name on it like I had done for her first born, Connor. I said, of course I would. So when I got home I started on the quilt for Thompson. Keep in mind that they were coming for a visit to the Gulf Coast in about a month
I made Thompson's quilt and then got to thinking that gee, his brother will feel left out if I don't make him one so I did. I made it from a panel I had and had enough to make two quilts so I made two play quilts from the truck panel...one for Thompson and one for Connor...these were "play" quilts.
Now you're thinking, aren't I just the nicest person.....but wait!!! Also coming to the Gulf Coast were Cathi's other college friends ... a single mom who had been a foster parent to two American Indian sisters and in September she legally adopted them and became their real mom. Also being at the beach with everyone would be another college friend, her husband, her four-year old daughter and twin six-month old boys. Also there would be Cathi, Dan and Cady.
So I thought, okay, I am going to need to make quilts for all of these kids as I can't make one for some and none for others. So I made quilts for everybody!!!!! They were easy quilts with big pieces and I even had three "family" quilts. I used up lots of fabric and it felt good to make them for people I knew who would appreciate them. Cathi said that the two little girls took their quilts to bed with them...that certainly made me feel good!!! Here are pictures of all of the quilts I made.
You really ARE the nicest person...and the craziest! No, I'm just kidding. That is so nice. I am the same way. I was making a quilt for Ray's former secretary's new baby. I didn't know her when she had her first baby, but I felt weird making one for the baby and not one for the older sister so she got one too. I haven't gone so far as to make one for everyone's child who happens to be visiting, but I think it is wonderful you did. How did you quilt them? Did you quilt them or did you get someone to do it? I would guess you did it, but maybe not.
