Grandma Sewing

I finished Marco's quilt. Only a year late, but what he doesn't know won't hurt him. I really like it. I hope he will find it bright and sunny and warm and cuddly.

It is backed with polar fleece, my favorite backing for a kid quilt. The fleece serves as both batting and backing. Marco loves kitties. One of his first words was "Mee-low" his version of what a cat says. I made him a kitty using the same yellow fleece. I made his whiskers out of that stretchy plastic stuff they make for stringing beads on. It is wiggly and soft.


Mr. Two-years-old-party-guy with his kitty. I think he likes it. Behind him you can see the car his parents got for him. Watch out!

Happy birthday, Sweetness.

    Happy Birthday, Marco! He is adorable and the kitty is perfect! I see hours of snuggling with his new blanket and best friend.

    Great color in Marco's quilt. Don't they grow just impossibly fast? How can he be two already? Love the cat, too.

    That is a very huggable-looking kitty and the quilt too--it looks warm, fun and inviting. Gotta love a bit of grandma sewing.

    Terry, it's a beautiful quilt, and a great idea to use the flannel as both batting and backing. The kitty is adorable... and so is Marco!

    What a gorgeous quilt. The colours are so warm, just like the fleecy back.

    I didn't finish my grandson's quilt until he was 2 either.

    And congratulations on the 12 x 12 exhibit. Well done.
